The National Hispana Leadership Institute (NHLI), a national 501(c)3 organization based in Washington, DC was established to address the
underrepresentation of Latinas in the corporate, nonprofit and political
arenas. NHLI’s mission is to develop Hispanas as
ethical leaders through training, professional development, relationship
building and community activism.
Are You Ready for the Next Level of Leadership Training?
For over 22 years, the NHLI
Executive Leadership Program (ELP) has trained hundreds of women through its
yearly four week intensive leadership training program
that spans nine months and is implemented in four cities. This profound
learning experience provides training in strategic management, public policy,
and cultural issues. In addition, each participant mentors at least two other
Latinas and completes a leadership project in their communities.
Week
1: Understanding
Yourself and Building Networks focuses on learning about leadership
strengths and areas for development, cross cultural communication, conflict
resolution, team building, development of support networks, and setting personal/professional
development goals. Held at San Juan Bautista, California in February.
Week
II: Effective
Change Through Public Policy Management focuses on public management,
negotiation skills, and strategic management through a case study approach.
Held in April at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
Week
III: Leadership
Development Program is conducted at the Center for Creative Leadership
(the top corporate executive leadership institute in the country), and combines
lectures, group exercises, assessment questionnaires, and individual feedback
sessions to provide participants with information about their leadership,
behavioral and decision-making skills. Participants choose from three locations
including: Greensboro, North Carolina; San Diego, California; Denver, Colorado.
Week IV: Impacting
Decision Makers and National Policy participants explore the
legislative process and national policy issues, and engage in meetings with
Congressional representatives and national leaders. Takes place in Washington,
D.C. in September.

corporate employees, and scholarships additionally reducing the tuition to
$3,500 for nonprofit organizations, government employees, and employees of
small businesses. The tuition fee covers

Harvard, and Washington DC), most local transportation and meals. It does not cover round trip travel to and from program locations and lodging

screening process includes a phone or personal interview of each applicant by
the regional screening committee, which provides recommendations to a national
selection committee. The 22 finalists are selected based on a series of

diversity and ethnic subgroups within the Hispanic community. All applicants will be notified by early December, 2009.
