Leadership Education and Development Institute: September 18-23, 2022

The ILWU will be holding a Leadership Education and Development Institute in Sacramento, CA–September 18-23, 2022.

The theme of this year’s training will be Today’s Challenge: Build Tomorrow’s Leaders.

Local unions or affiliates may nominate participants, who are each required to fill out the online LEAD application. Priority consideration will be given to new officers and rank and file activists who have not participated in any previous LEAD programs. For reasons of space and diversity, we anticipate having to limit each affiliate to two participants, but we will create a waiting list in case of cancellations or non-participation by any locals.

Applicants interested in attending must complete the online application forms no later than August 5, 2022.
