OUR LEADERSHIP Our HistoryA successful entrepreneur and dedicated philanthropist, Charles McVean had grown increasingly troubled by the poor performance of Memphis’ public schools and believed that the American free enterprise system held the remedy.

The program was successful and soon evolved into Peer Power.
