NEW Leadership Illinois is an all-expenses paid, bi-partisan program that strives to educate and empower the next generation of female leaders. NEW Leadership Illinois challenges our brightest students to think critically and creatively about public policy and encourages them to make a commitment to public leadership early in their careers. The program includes leadership education, hands-on training in public policy, and networking opportunities with leaders from every level of government.
This year’s program will be held June 2-6 in Chicago. Applications will be accepted until March 3, 2014.
Students from all backgrounds and in all majors are encouraged to apply. Students should attend a college or university in Illinois or should be an Illinois resident, and must have junior, senior or recent graduate standing in June 2014.
Your campus community is home to countless female leaders who can contribute greatly to NEW Leadership Illinois. We need your help to make this year’s program a success. We hope you will share information about the program with students across all majors on campus and encourage them to apply. Below, you will find an email announcement about the program that can be sent to student listservs, organizations, and individuals. We also ask that you display the attached flyer.
