NEARI March Institute - Emerging Leaders 

NEARI is hosting the March Institute on March 10-11, 2017, at Whispering Pines Conference Center on the URI Alton Jones Campus. It is designed to help new/emerging leaders develop strategies to strengthen their locals. All Institute costs are covered by NEARI. 

Generally, new/emerging leaders may:

• Have little or no organizing experience or training
• Are new to a leadership position and/or are building representatives
• Are ready to take the next step in union involvement.  

The Institute is an overnight retreat-style learning experience. Participants will be expected to arrive Friday afternoon and stay through the last session on Saturday at 5pm. Accommodations are two attendees per room. Check-in at Whispering Pines begins at 3:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
