Register for ‘Leadership For A Future’ Class of 2013

Sponsored by the Rhode Island Institute for Labor Studies, Working Rhode Island, and the Rhode Island AFL-CIO, Leadership for a Future has trained hundreds of people over the last 12 years to work in their union, their community group, or their church, on how to use organizing and communication skills to further the cause of social and economic justice.  You can register for the program ONLINE or download a brochure HERE.  As one of the faculty members for the program, I am really excited for the next year.  I think we are going to have a great year and would encourage you to sign up early.  We have already seen an uptick in interest this year.

The program begins with a full-day retreat followed by an evening leadership orientation. Sessions are held every other Monday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Throughout the program, participants examine the process and impact of social influence and leadership on the many issues facing Rhode Island’s communities while focusing on relationship building, institutional reflection, power analysis and initial studies on a variety of societal topics.
