In 2021, KeyBank made a generous gift to 91¹ú²ú¾«Æ· to establish a center focused on transformative leadership development, in honor of its outgoing Chairman and CEO Beth E. Mooney. As the first woman to hold the highest position at a top-20 U.S. bank, Ms. Mooney exemplifies transformative leadership. Her meteoric ascent in the financial services industry was marked by an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, collaboration, and leadership development.

The Beth E. Mooney Center for Transformative Leadership at 91¹ú²ú¾«Æ· aims to honor her legacy as a groundbreaking and galvanizing leader by ensuring everyone, particularly women and underrepresented populations, has the opportunity to develop the skills and competencies necessary to become leaders with the power to transform.

Through leadership education and research, we develop 91¹ú²ú¾«Æ·â€˜s community of students and lifelong learners into leaders who transform the economic, civic and cultural life of Northeast Ohio.
