You’re invited to our Boards & Commissions Leadership Institute Cohort 12 Graduation! 
Come celebrate our latest leaders and hear from our program team and guest speaker at Open Book on Oct. 2, 5:30-7 pm CT.
BCLI equips those historically barred from governing to reclaim a seat at the table, joining boards and commissions to fight for equitable policies in our neighborhoods, cities, and state. Over the last seven months, our 11 fellows have been learning Robert’s Rules, municipal budgets, and other technical skills, as well as how to build coalitions and organize one-on-ones. Some of them have even already been placed on a board, committee, or commission! Our fellows are eager to lead and ready to impact the leadership landscape in Minnesota.
Robert Lilligren will be our graduation speaker this year. As the first Tribal member on the Metropolitan Council and CEO of the Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI), Robert is deeply committed to equity-centered regional growth. He is a longtime public servant who has also served on the Minneapolis City Council.
We’re excited and proud to send off another batch of bold and passionate equity champions!
