SIGN UP FOR LCLD ADVOCACY GROUP PROGRAMS
The Fellows Advocacy Groups Program is an eight-month cycle in which Fellows divide into groups of five and work together to promote one another's careers. Advocacy Groups meet regularly by phone in order to discuss how each Fellow can best meet his/her career goals. Group members also take steps to assist by sharing learning resources, making introductions, and other favors that might assist a Fellow.
If you would like to participate in the Advocacy Groups Program Cycle III, you must sign up by Friday, September 25. The program will begin in October. Click here to sign up and click here to access an audio file with more details on the program. Direct any questions to Fellows Michael Bryant-Hicks or Lica Tomizuka.
