(Career Progress) Would you like to apply for a Sorensen program in 2013?

Dear friends,

 

        I'm sure many of you have heard of of the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership based at the University of Virginia. They offer leadership training for the politically-inclined through their High School Leaders Program, College Leaders Program, Emerging Leaders Program, Political Leaders Program and Candidate Training Program. Each is based on principles of trust, civility and respect in politics, with sessions on mediation techniques, ethics in public service, bipartisan cooperation, advocacy skills, policy making, using your personality and leadership styles to your advantage, and more.

As part of the inaugural class of the Sorensen Emerging Leaders Program, I'd like to personally invite you to apply to two programs which are seeking applicants right now. The deadline for applications to Sorensen's 10-month Political Leaders Program and four-day Candidate Training Program will conclude in less than seven weeks - Monday, November 12th, at 5 p.m. I'd be happy to put in a good word for you as a fellow DC Career Progress member, and feel free to put my name down (and any other Sorensen alum you know - the more the better!) as part of your answer to the "How did you hear about us?" question.

The following is the schedule for the 2013 PLP. 

March 14-16: Williamsburg*

April 12-13: Richmond
May 17-18: Southside Virginia
June 21-22: Lynchburg
July 12-13: Northern Virginia
August 16-17: Shenandoah Valley
September 20-21: Southwest Virginia
October 18-19: Hampton Roads
November 15-16: Roanoke Valley
December 13-14: Graduation

*The opening weekend starts the afternoon of Thursday March 14 and runs through Saturday afternoon March 16. Attendance at the entire opening session is mandatory. 

The Candidate Training Program will run from Jan. 24 through Jan 27 at Carter Hall in Clarke County west of Loudoun County. 

Please look carefully at your schedules and determine if a 2013 Sorensen program might be in the cards for you! I highly encourage you to apply and reap the benefits of Sorensen's fantastic programming.

If you have additional questions about Sorensen or its programs, contact April Auger, Director of Programs at april.auger@virginia.edu or 434-243-2470.

Thanks all and good luck!
