As part of our leadership program, you will have the opportunity to propose real, tractable solutions to address pressing issues, while preserving economic development, with a politically diverse group of peers.

By the end of the program, you will have had the chance to:
- discuss pragmatic policy proposals to be presented to members of Congress

- develop collaborative leadership skills
- connect with other passionate future leaders
At the end of the program, you’ll have the opportunity to present your proposed solutions to elected officials and other experts from world-renowned think tanks and academies, allowing you the direct opportunity to be involved and influential in the lawmaking process.
The program involves a total of six, 1.5-hour sessions over the course of six weeks from June to early July including:
- Expert speakers and activities designed to build your dialogue and collaborative skills
- Facilitated deliberations and problem-solving around the topic of choice
