NOI Organizers Summits:

Training Technology-Enabled Leaders

Training is a key component in
building the power of the progressive movement, particularly in a new
era of heavy reliance on technology.

That's why NOI will be holding Organizers Summits across the country from
June to September to connect technology-enabled organizers, managers,
staff, and leaders to use the new tools, tactics and strategies
available to organizations of all sizes.

The Summits will help to incorporate young organizers into other civic
engagement work, build a leadership pipeline within each state/region,
and further build relationships among organizations and individuals.

National Black Religious Summit 12 on Sexuality: The Dawn of a New Day

National Black Religious Summit 12 on Sexuality
The Dawn of a New Day

The twelfth annual National Black Religious Summit on Sexuality will be held July 9-11, 2008 at the Howard University School of Divinity. This year’s theme is “The Dawn of a New Day, ” which is so appropriate during an election year when we have heard so much about change from the political parties. In the National Black Church Initiative, all that we have done throughout the past twelve years has prepared us to make major changes within our churches relating to issues of sexuality.
