Women's Leadership Organization Searches for Candidate Scholars



Founded in 1988 as a not not-for-profit (501c3), Leadership Illinois offers unique professional development opportunities for women who have distinguished themselves as leaders in their professional fields and civic endeavors. The organization is taking applications for the Class of 2005.



(PRWEB) October 29, 2004



The Leadership Illinois Board of Directors announced today that it would accept applications for admission to the Class of 2005 until January 31, 2005. Women leaders from the private and public sector are invited to apply for this yearlong program designed to increase their resources and skills as leaders.



As of 2004, 275 women leaders, from across the state, have completed the Leadership Illinois program. Participants are selected to create a class that reflects a diversity of ethnic and geographic factors, as well as political, career and volunteer experiences.



Upon selection, members of the Class of 2005 will participate in three multi-day conferences: “Power of Government,” “Power of the Individual” and “Power of the Marketplace.” Conferences are held in Springfield, Bloomington and Chicago, respectively.



Topics covered include ethics, public will to public policy, technology in the healthcare marketplace and women entrepreneurs in the global economy. IllinoisÂ’ most respected leaders in government, corporations, and non-profit associations serve as presenters. With each conference the class members enhance their ability to contribute more effectively to their own organization and take a more active role in shaping civic, state and national public policy. The Leadership Illinois program includes networking opportunities, team building and co-mentoring.  



Eligible candidates must complete the application and provide three letters of recommendation for consideration. The class is selected by the nominating committee and approved by Leadership Illinois board of directors at the board meeting on March 15, 2005. Upon Board approval, new class members must register for all three sessions.



Applications are available at www. leadershipillinois. org or candidates may contact the Leadership Illinois Office, at (877) 532-3451 for more information.
