State Rep. Leslie Herod of Denver and state Sen. Dominick Moreno of Commerce City, both Democrats, started a three-week executive leadership program for LGBTQ officials on Monday at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The David Bohnett Leaders Fellowship, sponsored by the foundation of the same name and the Victory Institute, is awarded annually to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender elected and appointed officials “well-positioned to secure even more influential positions in government,” the foundation said. Herod and Moreno are among 10 fellows attending the program this year.
