Union L.E.A.D. Scholarship Opportunity

As part of the NY State AFLCIO's commitment to fostering equity in our movement and ensuring our leadership reflects its membership, the New York State AFL-CIO Social Justice Task Force has proposed, and the Executive Council has approved, providing Union L.E.A.D. (Leadership Equity and Development) scholarships for prospective union leaders to the Cornell Union Leadership Institute.

Please fill out the application at https://nysaflcio.org/lead if interested and share with your fellow union members who you think would be a good fit.

Hundreds of prospective leaders from local unions throughout the state have gone through the program with many progressing to leadership positions within their unions.

In order for New York to remain union strong, we need our next generation of leaders, diverse in background and experience, to step forward. Are you ready for the challenge?

Any card-carrying union member is able to apply. Recipients will be selected by ULI staff based on essays submitted by a pool of scholarship applicants.

· Seminar 1: April 18 - 23, 2021 (Virtual)
· Seminar 2: July 25 – 30, 2021 at Cornell Conference Center in Ithaca
