Maynard provided me with the tools, the support, and the inspiration to become a better journalist and a more impactful force for change.
Allison Jing Yang, Senior Editor – Partnerships & Initiatives, Initium Media
With Bob Maynard’s pioneering spirit, it’s important to remember history and how far we’ve come. This program helped shape my career as one of the most important experiences of my life.
