Join us for an evening celebrating the women of Cohort 6 and learn more about Native Action Network's Legacy of Leadership Program.About this Event
The Legacy of Leadership program nurtures emerging Native professionals and advocates that serve the Native populations of King County, Washington. Cohort members complete one year of leadership training sessions addressing issues and topics relevant to the urban Native community, and work in groups to realize their own projects with guidance from a mentor. Monthly Engagement Sessions focus on professional development, community development, finances, governance, leadership, interspersed with the work and legacy of the Gang of Four.
The 2023-2024 cohort members are Breezy Reems, Brooke Lolnitz, Celia Olea, Christina Diego, Dezerae Hayes, Irene McCloud, Jami Ishmael-Barney, Katie Manzanares, Kelsea Pullin, and Rosalina Turk.
This June, our cohort will complete their leadership journey with Native Action Network. Join us on June 5, 6-8pm, at Ray's Boathouse for an evening of celebration, and learn more about the cohort participants as they share updates on their community projects and future goals.
Dinner will be served.
