The Cleveland Leadership Center recently announced that Hahn Loeser Partner Christopher B. Wick has been selected to participate in the Leadership Cleveland Class of 2025. Wick is one of 64 Cleveland-area professionals selected from public, private and nonprofit-sector institutions to participate in the 10-month program.
Since 1978, Leadership Cleveland has been an immersive experience that brings together senior-level leaders of all different backgrounds, challenging them to deepen their impact on the community, while growing as leaders. Class members are chosen based on demonstrated leadership and commitment through a highly selective application process.
“I’m very excited and appreciative of this opportunity,” said Wick. “As a former ‘Bridge Builder’ with the Cleveland Leadership Center, I’m eager to increase my civic engagement alongside a very talented and innovative class.”
The 2025 program begins in September and features intensive sessions, site visits and retreats to appreciate the rich diversity of Greater Cleveland, gain insight on challenges and opportunities and strengthen key relationships. Participants develop collaborative leadership skills, establish a broader network of community-focused leaders and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the civic system.
An attorney at Hahn Loeser since 2003 and a partner since 2009, Wick serves as Chair of the Firm’s Commercial Services & Restructuring Group. His practice focuses on business reorganizations, workouts, debtors’ and creditors’ rights and corporate transactions across the United States. Multiple law organizations and peer-review directories and guides have honored Wick on an annual basis, including ChambersUSA for the past 10 years.
Hahn Loeser’s long history of participation in Leadership Cleveland includes Stephen J. Knerly Jr. (1991), Craig Owen White (1994), Lawrence E. Oscar (2009), Stanley R. Gorom III (2012), Rob Remington (2014), Christopher S.W. Blake (2018) and E. Sean Medina (2020).
