Anyone who wants to attend the Community Leadership Institute offered by St. Thomas University can do so WITHOUT the signature of the neighborhood association board chair. That is not a required element of the St. Thomas application process.
However, if the applicant wishes to recieve the
scholarship offered by NRP for the course, we ask the
board chair to sign the scholarship application. We do
so in an attempt to make a connection between the
existing neighborhood board members and a potentially
budding community activist. It is the hope of NRP that
the graduates of the CLI will become involved in their
neighborhood association and NRP and city related
activities.
Both Robert Lilligren and Natalie Johnson Lee were successful graduates of the Community Leadership Institute. Council aide Andrea Jenkins and one other council aide whose name escapes me right now also were successful graduates of the institute.
I have quite a few people in my various assigned
neighborhoods that have attended the institute. I
have watched them develop stronger leadership skills
and are tremendous assets to the neighborhoods they
volunteer in. While I haven't personally participated
in the classes, based on the results I have seen
personally, I highly recommend it.
If you know anyone who is a budding community activist
and could benefit from skill building in this area,
feel free to let them know about this fabulous
opportunity. Next week is the deadline for applications to the CLI.
NRP has scholarships available for those interested.
You can contact Robert Thompson at 673-5149 or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to get an application form.
