Application Requirements
The Summer Leadership Institute is designed for faith-based professionals who have
demonstrated productivity and leadership in their organizations, places of
worship, and communities. Individuals with titles of pastor, minister, chief executive officer, chief
financial officer, program director, program coordinator, and board member
would be strong candidates.
The program has no formal educational requirements, but proficiency in written and
spoken English is essential. Each applicant must independently develop an
action plan for his or her church, organization, or corporation. An applicant must be nominated by
his or her church, organization,
or corporation. Nomination indicates that the
candidate is considered an outstanding prospect for organizational
leadership. All nominating entities must agree to relieve participants of
work responsibilities during the program.
The two-week session is limited to 50 individuals. The goal is to select
people who are significantly engaged in building institutions that improve the
faith life and general health of their community. The program seeks to ensure
maximum interaction between participants and teaching staff.

The deadline for SLI applications has
been extended to Monday, April 7, 2008.

organization, or development corporation.
