Participants will take part in customized coaching sessions that will further develop leadership skills to impact HIV/AIDS local, state and federal health policy affecting Latinos in the Deep South.
Participants from our 2013-2014 Cohort lauded the institute and experience:
“I really did get a lot out of the participation last year. My experience was a validation of all the work that has been happening in the last couple of years.”
“We will be further involved together and have a much stronger voice together as Hispanics.”
“I like that you guys were here. People from the Latino Commission on AIDS were here to help and I like that. It’s very important that organizations and people like me here have a presence.”
The cohort will consist of 6 sessions over a three month period beginning in March 2016. The institute is designed to promote an engaging and honest dialogue to address the pressing social and structural issues affecting Latinos in the Deep South. Deadline to apply for the Spring Cohort is Jan 26, 2016 at 11:59PM CT.
The Institute is named for Dennis de Leon, former president of the Commission and a tireless advocate on behalf of Latinos, people of color, LGBT and other marginalized populations. If you have any questions about the 2016 Dennis de Leon Sustainable Leadership Institute please contact us.
