March 24, 2008 Dear Colleague, As part of its mission to provide professional development opportunities for members of the TRIO and educational opportunity community in New England, the New England Educational Opportunity Association (NEOA) began offering a yearlong Leadership Institute in 1998-99. Next year’s Leadership Institute will accept people with varying years of experience in TRIO/EOP’s: mid-career professionals who have been with TRIO/EOPs for a number of years and are looking for a reinvigorating professional development experience and emerging leaders who may be newer to our programs but have demonstrated their motivation and commitment through work within their state. In their applications, these individuals should indicate why they feel they are ready for a stimulating year of inquiry, rejuvenation and skill building. The selection committee will select 15 participants. The combination of experienced and emerging professionals will provide an exciting and challenging yearlong Institute. The Leadership Institute will convene four (4) times over the next year and will provide participants the opportunity to develop greater expertise and knowledge as leaders in the field and to enhance their ability to expand educational opportunities for the students with whom they work. The aim of the Institute is to provide participants and the programs they serve with a strong and effective common core of leadership theory and skills. Enclosed are all the application materials one needs to apply. Please feel free to copy these materials and share them with colleagues. The fee for the Institute is $1000 per person and is an allowable cost for TRIO programs. Refund policy: Full refund with 60 days notification of withdrawal before the first session. Then, 50% refund with 30 days notification; anything less than that would be either no refund or would be up to the discretion of the LI Director and NEOA Executive Board. This allows exceptions for those with serious extenuating circumstances, who may want to apply again in a subsequent year, and who might be offered a partial refund. Please contact me with any questions about The Leadership Institute or the application process. Sincerely, Sigh SearlesDirector, NEOA Leadership Institute LI Application 2008-2009 - PDF format Leadership Institute Participants Leadership Yearbook 2003-2004
