Leadership Education and Development Institute: April 13-18 2025
The ILWU will be holding a Leadership Education and Development Institute in Tacoma, Washington, April 13-18 2025.
The theme of this year’s training will be I am the ILWU.
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 seats for two participants from each affiliate, but we make the utmost effort to accommodate additional participants.
Applicants interested in attending must complete the online application forms no later than Friday, February 28, 2025.
Please have the following information ready when you apply:
- Your contact information
- Positions you’ve held within your local
- Descriptions of your participation in ILWU programs and volunteer work you’ve performed for the union
- Why you want to participate in LEAD
- Who has nominated you to attend
- 1-2 references from your local
