Applications for APWU’s Leadership Institute are now open through June 26.
The Leadership Institute is an intensive three-week educational program, held one week at a time over three months. The program focuses on topics ranging from organizing, bargaining, and representation to legislation, community alliances, and building the APWU and union movements.
The Leadership Institute strengthens and enhances the leadership skills of local and state leaders, as well as union activists across the country. The Institute is organized and overseen by the national president’s office and includes the participation of many national officers, headquarters staff, and special guest presenters. APWU National covers all the costs, including lost compensation, of the participants.
