Leslie Petty, who leads Madison College’s School of Academic Advancement, has been named president and CEO of the Dane County Boys & Girls Club, according to a report in the Wisconsin State Journal.
Petty, a native of West Philadelphia, will succeed interim CEO Taylor Jackson, who has led the organization since the death of the club’s longtime CEO Michael Johnson in June.
With Madison College, Petty oversees a department that serves nearly 4,000 students annually across the college’s branch campuses.
