About the Women's Leadership Training Program
NEA's ability to positively influence policy—to ensure every child's basic right to a great public school and to secure full rights for women—is in direct proportion to our ability to maintain an active and engaged membership.
Thousands of Association women leaders across the country have experienced NEA's Women’s Leadership Training. Each year hundreds of women Association members undertake this successful program, especially designed to meet their needs.
Created in the late 1970s in response to a proposal submitted by a Special Committee on Women's Leadership Training, the Women's Leadership Training Program (WLTP) has maintained a high standard for leadership training and a high volume of requests from NEA affiliates for training in their states.
Composed of five packages geared to meet the needs of all members—from those just beginning to participate in the Association all the way to experienced leaders who have been appointed or elected to the highest local, state, and national leadership positions—the training sessions include:
- Personal Assessment Leadership Skills - for members in the early stages of Association participation
- Personal and Professional Decision-Making Skills - for members beginning to move into leadership positions
- Group Process Skills - designed for diverse groups of male and female Association leaders who want to learn vital communication and decision-making skills
- Organizational Analysis Skills - for Association leaders who want to chart a path to higher levels of leadership in the Association
- Campaign To Win (CTW) - for Association leaders who want to learn how to conduct an effective election campaign to run for higher office, either for themselves or for others.
Women's Leadership Training is delivered regionally three times a year, just prior to Regional Leadership Conferences. State presidents select three members from each state in the region to attend. Often, women state presidents who make these selections have been WLTP participants themselves. Numerous women leaders, in high offices of the local, state, and national Associations, credit WLTP with their success.
You could join their ranks! For more information, contact Pamela Rios-Mobley by e-mail prios@nea.org or telephone (202) 822-7727.
