[CircleUp] Scholarships available TRi-College NEW Leadership Development Institute - applications due March 26, 2010

[Pamela Standing]

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.
