John Rice, Founder and CEO of Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT)
MLT is a national non-profit that has made ground-breaking progress developing the next generation of African American, Hispanic, and Native American leaders in major corporations, non-profit organizations and entrepreneurial ventures, where these minority groups are dramatically under-represented.
John Rice has many Bowdoin College ties, including his mother, Dr. Lois Dickson Rice, upon whom the College bestowed an Honorary Degree in 1984. Four uncles and two cousins are also Bowdoin alumni.
