From the Executive Director |
|
Dear friends,
As LALP continues to respond to the times, we are happy to be back and report on the successful launch and closing of our first-ever GCL hybrid program for which we welcomed 36 young leaders from 14 countries across Latin America and Spain. You can learn more about the program's reach and the diverse talent of this GCL 2022 cohort in this newsletter. But as GCL 2022 closes, new leadership development opportunities open. This time, with our revamped ILG 2022 and an impressive offer of custom programs across the region.
As such, we are opening applications for the 9th edition of our Innovation and Leadership in Government/Innovación y Liderazgo en Gobierno (ILG) for Latin American public leaders. A few updates to highlight this year are that eligibility has been expanded to include representatives of the executive, judiciary, and legislative branches at a local, state, and national level and of multilateral and social organizations across LATAM. In addition, this edition will also include project mentoring, dialogue series, and regional case studies, plus participants have the added bonus this year of participating in the 2022 LALP alumni reunion. We expect a high demand for this hybrid ILG edition, so if you know of qualified candidates that might benefit from this program, please help us spread the word.
Moreover, this week we are pleased to welcome the first cohort of the new program for Young Lawyers for the Rule of Law in the Americas co-presented with our Georgetown University´s partners, CAROLA. Applications are now closed and the virtual program will run from May 2 through June 1, 2022, thanks to the generous support of Latin American Board member, Philippe Stiernon. Our latest custom offerings also include programs with Alcaldía de Bogotá, Cámara de Centros de Formación de El Salvador and Leading Education.
We invite you to learn more about all of the above, the multiplier impact of our alumni, and the special events and dialogue series we have co-presented this spring in this newsletter. We look forward to sharing more news with you all in the coming months, including details on the always anticipated GCL 2023 program. In the meantime, please reach out to us with any questions or proposals.
Sincerely,

From zoom to indoor masking to a somewhat return to pre-pandemic life, GCL 2022 proved to be a great example of how LALP adapted to respond to the rapid changes of this pandemic. |
