The Tri-College NEW (National Education for Women's) Leadership
Development Institute will be held June 5-9, 2010 at Minnesota State
University Moorhead. The intensive five-day residential program is
designed to provide leadership training, inspiration, and support for
women who do not have extensive leadership experience. There is
particular emphasis on recruiting women from groups that have typically
been underrepresented voices in the political process.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, there is no cost to participate.
Participants will have the option of registering for a three-credit
course in Women's Studies, Sociology, or Social Work. Those who choose
to register for course credits will have to pay for the course
registration expenses. In addition, some scholarships are available to
assist with travel and/or childcare expenses.
For information and applications visit
http://www.tri-college.org/newleadership or call Deb White at 218-477-2041.
Applications will be accepted until March 26, 2010.
Participants attend workshops on running for office, public speaking,
fundraising, public policy advocacy, and working with the media. They
meet with over twenty women leaders, including state and local
officials, women in tribal government, and grassroots activists.
Participants and some women leaders reside on campus throughout the
institute, extending learning beyond the formal daytime sessions.
We seek applicants with interest in politics, public service, or
community service who desire to develop their leadership skills. They
need not be college students. Approximately 50 college and community
women will be accepted.
