Dear Labor Leader:
We are very pleased that your organization is considering nominating and sponsoring one or more individuals to attend the National Labor Leadership Initiative. Your nominee(s) are joining a terrific group of labor leaders coming together to strengthen their own leadership, build more effective organizations, and explore the challenges of creating a powerful progressive movement.
Once your nominee(s) are accepted into the program, your organization agrees to provide the necessary professional and financial support for their participation. The program consists of three separate leadership retreats during the year, and acceptance into the program requires a commitment on the part of the participant(s) to attend all three retreats in their entirety.
Once we receive this form we will contact your nominee(s) to prepare them for the program and to do everything possible to ensure that the NLLI meets their needs.
Nominations are for the program beginning in November of this year.
