The Enduring Commitment
NHLI's training program has a national impact on the public and private
spheres of national life.
-
It is a policy-relevant program which fosters
the involvement of women in government and public policy as they become
elected or appointed officials.
-
It teaches Hispana leaders who work for non-profit
institutions new methods to generate volunteer and board resources.
-
It contributes to women's advancement in the
corporate world by supplementing other development programs.
Above all, the NHLI training program is an important
national women's initiative. Many of its graduates have gone on to
become elected officials, senior managers and decisionmakers in the realms
of culture and education. Alumnae are able to access a larger array of
opportunities as they become a part of a national network of Hispana leaders.
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. |

Since 1988, the National Hispana Leadership Institute has trained
hundreds of Latinas to become leaders of this country. NHLI's unique
cutting-edge program builds on the "Latina" strengths
and the development of skills necessary to confront the challenges
they will face as leaders. NHLI has developed, trained and mentored
Latinas to become ethical world leaders, through an intensive
four week leadership training program. The institute addresses
public policy development, community building, management, organizational
and leadership skills that are needed to succeed in our competitive
world.
The program spans nine months and is implemented in four different
sites. In addition, each alumna mentors two Hispanic women for
two years and develops a leadership project that will benefit
a minimum of 25 Hispanic girls and/ or women. A maximum of 22
fellows are selected each year from a cross the country, through
a comprehensive application and interviewing process.
