For over 30 years the Industrial Areas Foundation has been holding leadership development sessions for members of broad-based organizations across the country. These sessions provide a thorough introduction to the organizing practices and principles developed by Industrial Areas Foundation member organizations in its 66-year history. National Training is 7 days long and is held in March and June or July each year. The NW IAF now conducts a 6-day Regional Institute each fall. National and Regional Institutes are intended for two groups of people: 1) Leaders of institutions that are members of a local IAF affiliate or are actively exploring membership; 2) Leaders or members of those organizations who are engaged in a local IAF affiliate and who have attended local Leadership Institutes. If you are interested in attending the Industrial Areas Foundation’s Regional Institute please contact your local affiliate’s Lead Organizer.
