"This is a chance to learn and grow within a supportive, highly educated environment, and I can't wait to get started."

That's how E.

Sean Lanier describes the six-month Executive Program at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, which has been called "one of the '10 executive leadership programs that should be on every business leader's radar" for its "immersive experience helping participants gain an enterprise perspective, a strategic vision for their organization, and improve their mental and physical health."

Lanier, the executive director of Resolve Solutions Incorporated in Alexandria, and Ethan Long, the president of the VIA Centers for Neurodevelopment in Charlottesville, are this year's recipients of a scholarship to attend the program, which will be held in Charlottesville and Washington, DC, over the next six months.

"I believe that my participation in the Executive Program will enhance my development as a strategic leader," Long says in a press release.

"To that end, I am excited to learn from the TEP faculty and my fellow classmates' novel ways to approach business growth, innovation and prioritization, all with the goal of better serving our community."
