THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
Proceeds from the benefit support the Leadership Institute which is the core training and development program of the Tavis Smiley Foundation. Your donations help to keep the registration fees low so that youth from all economic backgrounds can participate. The 2008 Institute brought 220 delegates representing 24 states together for five days on the campus of UCLA. Speakers included Tavis Smiley, Hill Harper, Cornel West and Lalah Hathaway. Registration information for the 2009 program will be posted at www.youthtoleaders.org and www.tavistalks.com.
