West recently led some of Summit's most impactful initiatives, including launching the IT program run inside the Northstar Innovation Center and developing partnerships with Atomic Data and U.S. Bank to streamline internships and employment for graduates.

Leroy is responsible for much of the success Summit has experienced in the last few years, and it's the right time for him to take the helm," King added.
Summit Academy OIC, one of 31 OIC of America affiliates located in 19 States, is one of the fastest-growing affiliates thanks to its expansion into IT and STEM.
"Minneapolis should hold its head up high," said West. "Summit's success is thanks to our amazing donors, corporate partners, government support, passionate staff, and, of course, our driven students who continue to show what happens when barriers are removed and people are given a fair shot at becoming productive members of society. I will proudly continue the legacy King started by promoting the fact that the best social service program in the world is a job."
