STATEN ISLAND LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
In September 2012, the College of Staten Island will welcome the
Class of 2013 of the Staten Island Leadership Institute. The
Institute, which has been endorsed by the Borough President, the
Staten Island Chamber of Commerce and the Staten Island
Economic Development Corporation, contributes to the
development of tomorrow's community leaders and creates an
effective network to connect them. The purpose of the Institute is
to provide a forum where emerging community and business
leaders come together in an environment that fosters growth and
dialogue on community issues. Each year, up to 30 class members
are identified and selected for participation in a ten-month core
program with an interactive curriculum. The class will meet one
day per month from September through June, with a graduation
ceremony in July. The program informs class members about all
aspects of the Staten Island community, its relationship to New
York City, State, and Federal offices, and institutions of
international governance. Class members will meet with
community, city, and state leaders. They will develop an in-depth
understanding of how decisions on Staten Island are made and
how they can have an impact on those decisions. They will
eventually become an integral part of a vital network of experts
that will influence decisions on Staten Island's future growth.
Tuition per student is $1,000/year ($500 for Staten Island
Chamber of Commerce Members). A limited number of
sponsorships is available for candidates from community
organizations and not-for-profits.

Dr. Hugo Kijne, Executive Director, 718.982.2191.
