Are you interested in joining the SWASAP Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) Class of 2019?
This opportunity is for people who want to get more involved, but may not be sure where to start or for people who want to finally understand the ins-and-outs of how SWASAP works. Everyone is invited to apply for this opportunity. You do not have to be a new SWASAP member or new to TRIO.
The 2019 ELI class is made up of representatives from each state and will meet during a three-day summit in Las Vegas, Nevada. There will be two additional online meetings and a final gathering at the 2019 SWASAP Conference in Austin, TX.
ELI participants have an opportunity to better understand SWASAP's mission and history. Participants will explore their leadership styles and test their ability working in a team together in addition to networking with other TRIO staff from around the region.
