Commonwealth Seminar

Congratulations to Leverett Wing, Executive Director of the Commonwealth Seminar, for being named one of Boston Magazine's 150 Most Influential Bostonians for the second year in a row! 🎉

For more than a decade, Leverett has worked tirelessly to open the doors of government to people who have too often been left out of the conversation. Through his leadership, mentorship, and ability to connect communities, he has helped shape a more representative and inclusive future for Boston and beyond.

His recognition is also a testament to the impact of the Commonwealth Seminar, which has empowered nearly 2,500 leaders, advocates, and changemakers from underserved communities with the skills, networks, and knowledge needed to influence policy and create lasting change.

Now more than ever, we need leaders who are committed to ensuring everyone has a seat at the table.

Join us on June 15 for the Commonwealth Seminar's Annual "In the Room & At the Table" Celebration as we honor our Champions of Inclusion and support the Seminar's mission of Opening the Doors of Government to Everyone.

🎟️ Get your tickets today and help us continue this important work.
