What are the seminars about?

Each MLT Regional Seminar is designed to foster, promote, and enhance ethnic minority involvement in local, state, regional, and national Association policymaking and leadership. The seminars offer a wide range of professional learning opportunities including:

• Leadership development skills training for emerging, experienced, and advanced leaders;
• Dialogue sessions with regional and national experts on current issues affecting our schools, profession, and community;
• Networking with other education professionals and national and state leaders;
• And much more.

Who can attend?

Official Team Members: (NEA FUNDED) Each state president is encouraged to select a 6-member team of ethnic-minority members/leaders to attend. Funding for state team members is provided by the NEA Human and Civil Rights Department. Members of this state team are expected to attend the seminar for two consecutive years.

Other NEA Members: Additional NEA members can attend an MLT Seminar in their region. Funding for these participants can be provided by either their local or state association, or by individuals themselves.
