LEADERSHIP SCHOOLS
Leadership Schools to be offered in the 2008-2009 school year:

LERC provides educational programs to Oregon workers and their organizations. The Leadership Schools, along with LERC's Union Leadership Development Program (U-LEAD), offer affordable, high-quality courses at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels throughout the state. Where possible, each Leadership School is cosponsored by a local central labor council. LERC's Leadership Schools give local unionists the opportunity to get to know each other while improving their individual skills.
