Text Box: We are looking for help with this year's LOT program. The NBMBAA LOT Program aims to provide mentors and resources to marginally academic performing high school students who have leadership potential but need additional guidance and motivation in order to make good choices about college, their career, and their future. Targeted students include inner-city high school youth with a grade point average between C- and C+ who have demonstrated leadership potential. The Richmond LOT program consists of the Case Competition Program and Entrepreneurial Program. If you have any ideas about how we can ensure the success of our LOT program or want to lend your time, please contact us at lot@ricbmbaa.org.
