NAAWLI Program
NAAWLI Leadership Development Program
NAAWLI’s annual leadership development program provides an opportunity for entry-level to mid-level leaders to participate in our legendary programming. Our curriculum is designed to develop and excel professional black women into leadership roles.
NAAWLI’s curriculum is built upon 8 Core Tenets of Professional Development:
Leadership, Organizational Culture, Mentorship, Networking, Self-Care, Financial Acumen and Entrepreneurship, Presentation and Branding, Community Philanthropy
The 2024 program will be virtual with an in-person graduation celebration to maximize convenience and connectivity. The program occurs over three week-long sessions beginning in February, includes an individual Capstone, and concludes with a live graduation ceremony in September in Atlanta, GA.
