Commissioner Precious Brady-Davis Selected to Attend Prestigious Harvard Kennedy School Executive Program (Chicago, IL) – Precious Brady-Davis, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) Commissioner and Chief Strategy Officer at the Center on Halsted, the Midwest’s largest LGBTQ+ community center, has been selected to participate in the Senior Executives in State and Local Government program at the Harvard Kennedy School from July 7–25, 2025.
The program, held on the Harvard Kennedy School campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, brings together over 70 leaders from across the United States and around the world for three weeks of intensive learning, leadership development, and peer exchange. Participants represent a diverse mix of mayors, city managers, state agency directors, county commissioners, law enforcement officials, and other senior leaders in public service.
“It’s an honor to be selected for this distinguished program alongside public servants from all over the country,” said Commissioner Precious Brady-Davis. “As an elected official and advocate, it’s my responsibility to amplify the voices of communities that are too often left out of policy conversations. I look forward to bringing new insights back to my work to help drive more equitable and inclusive solutions right here in Chicago.”
Led by renowned faculty from the Harvard Kennedy School, the program focuses on real-world problem solving, crisis management, negotiation, and leading in times of change. It offers a unique opportunity for senior officials to step away from day-to-day responsibilities and reflect, learn, and return to their organizations with renewed insight and energy.
