Kaleem Caire, CEO of the Urban League of Greater Madison for the past four years, has announced that he will step down at the end of March to pursue other opportunities.
“I have decided that now is the right time to move on,” said Caire in a press release. “We have accomplished many of the goals we set out to achieve when I became leader of the Urban League, with the exception of our unsuccessful pursuit of the Madison Prep Charter School. I have done my very best to hear and address the needs of the disadvantaged, underrepresented children and famlies in our community.”
Since Caire took over, the Urban League has gone from serving 183 adults in 2009 to 1,731 last year.
During the transition, Caire will participate in the organization’s nationwide search for a new president and CEO.
