The Bangor Region Leadership Institute (BRLI) is an intensive, regionally-oriented leadership development program designed to give potential and emerging leaders the skills, knowledge, and on-going support they need to succeed in the greater Bangor community.  It is designed for outstanding individuals who desire to sharpen their leadership skills and gain a greater understanding of the region’s economy and community networks.  While many fine national leadership development programs exist, we offer a regionally-focused program – taught by local leaders for local leaders.

Schedule

The Bangor Region Leadership Institute begins in the fall of each year, and continues through the spring, over eight separate day-long sessions. As part of the Leadership Institute’s regional education, each session takes place at a different area location, from a large maufacturing facility to the Bangor International Airport; a local college to a historic church.  The schedule includes behind-the-scenes tours of several key regional businesses and institutions. The curriculum includes a dynamic array of presenters that represent a variety of backgrounds and occupations.  They are chosen to present based on their performance in their chosen field, their commitment to the community, and their excellent communication skills.

Limited Enrollment

Since its inception, the Bangor Region Leadership Institute has kept its yearly enrollment small in order to maintain the highest possible standards of quality learning.  Applicants are asked to submit an application form, resume, and names of three references to ensure that they will benefit from the program.

Payment

Tuition for the Bangor Region Leadership Institute is $725.  Tuition includes all course fees, catered meals and a certificate of program completion.  Most employers have chosen to invest in key employees by sponsoring them for all or most of the costs.  Scholarships for those who would otherwise be unable to participate are available upon request.
