About the Program

Latinas as Ethical World Leaders

The NHLI program provides four one-week leadership development seminars which span nine months and four cities. The intensive learning experience provides training in public policy, leadership, strategic management and race, class and gender issues. The program emphasizes a holistic approach to leadership. Participants will reflect and review their personal history: Who/what has influenced or motivated me? What obstacles have I overcome and still need to be overcome?

The NHLI is committed to new paradigms of leadership, not in maintaining the status quo. As such, this program is for women who are ready for profound changes in their personal and professional lives. It will include deep, personal sharing and insights. In order to lead others, a leader must first know herself. "Knowing others is wisdom, knowing the self is enlightenment." The NHLI program is an educational program. The excellence and relevance of NHLI's training program has been recognized by distinguished leaders in the public and private sectors. NHLI's commitment, however, extends beyond helping Hispanic women succeed. The fellows are viewed by NHLI as agents of a much wider transformation.
