WELCOME

On behalf of the team at BOSS™, we’d like to thank you for joining us at the Pointe at the Walter Pyramid on the Long Beach State campus for a showcase of BOSS™, the year-round, multi-year STEAM-focused academic enrichment, leadership, life skills and personal development “process” through which we are taking area boys (target boys) starting in middle school

Our goal is simple: help target boys develop the character, discipline, habits, mindset and skills to achieve success notwithstanding the inequities in education laid bare by COVID, with an emphasis on careers in STEAM and those requiring critical thinking/writing and related skills

Today’s mentors represent careers in accounting, banking, business, finance, entertainment, law, media, real estate, sports and tech. They were each once in your shoes and will share how the achieved success in their chosen fields and how timeless and universally applicable leadership, life and personal development imperatives helped them overcome the challenges and obstacles in their paths.

The Showcase is our opportunity to share the BOSS “process” with you with a view towards your taking advantage of the year-round, multi-year programming we are providing from the Long Beach State campus.

We thank you for taking the time to invest in yourself A special “thanks” is extended to our sponsors, without whose help we could not have presented the amazing experience we have planned for you including, but not limited to, HSBC Bank, the Los Angeles Rams and the Port of Long Beach.
