CWA Minority Leadership Institute Set for Sept. 14-26

The CWA Minority Leadership Institute (MLI) will celebrate its 25th year when the institute's annual program opens this September 14-26 at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Md. Following two weeks of classroom training, participants in the program will take part in a week-long internship in politics or organizing in their home district or sector.

Participants will be selected based on their commitment, energy and dedication to union work; interest in organizing and political internship; potential for future leadership and years of activism; the formation of a diverse MLI class.

Special consideration will be given to next generation leaders.  Members interested in attending should contact their local union for more information.

Since the institute was established in 1983, some 200 CWA members have taken the training.
