Site Staff,

WILMA’s Leadership Institute gives up-and-coming leaders a unique opportunity to learn from top leaders in the region, visit a range of local companies, and serve as each others’ personal board of directors.

Individuals can apply themselves, and companies are encouraged to nominate high-potential leaders in their organizations.

The nine-month program starts in January and meets once a month. The group will meet once a month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. January-September, except for the January session, which will be a full day session, 8 a.m.- 6.p.m.

You can apply yourself or nominate a person you know from your organization, and the program is geared toward those from New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties. Women from a range of backgrounds including large companies, small companies, nonprofits and government agencies are encouraged to apply.

A panel of judges will review all of the submitted applications. If selected as a finalist, the applicant will be notified to schedule an in-person interview in early December with the selection committee, which will choose the final class.

If an applicant is accepted by the judges, the cost of the nine-month program is $2,150. The Leadership Institute has some scholarships available for those who work for nonprofits that are underwritten by our sponsors. Payment is due by January 15.
