With your generous support, we are taking 2020 by storm! We have held exhilarating NLC Institute LEAD weekends, Believe. Change. Inspire. Summits in DC and San Francisco, have the upcoming Women's Summit in NYC, NLC annual convention in Philadelphia, and so much more programming in between.
It has been an amazing experience leading NLC thus far, and I am so excited for what lies ahead. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our deep responsibility of shepherding our organization and movement through the current era, where the very meaning of democracy is up to a new generation of leaders to redefine. Please take a moment to review our latest news and updates below.

1. 2021 NLC Fellows Nominations
With nearly 9,000 fellows and alumni, the NLC Institute is the leading leadership development program for a rising generation of progressive leaders across the country. NLC chapters select up to 20 leaders to attend the NLC Institute held annually from January through June in their local city or state.
NLC community members are running for elected office, managing campaigns, working in government, running nonprofits, and starting small businesses; and it all began with the NLC Institute. We've made an impact in communities across the country during a time when progressive leaders are needed more than ever, but there is more work to do.
