Gov. Mike Beebe is again searching for leaders from the Delta region to participate in the Delta Leadership Institute.
The institute brings together community leaders from across the Delta to work together to provide solutions to the challenges that confront the region. This year-long program is sponsored by the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) in partnership with the University of Alabama’s College of Continuing Studies.
Five DLI participants and two alternates will be selected from Arkansas. Applicants must be from one of the counties comprising the DRA and are required to attend all five sessions located in various cities throughout the Delta. To complete the online application for the program, visit the Web site, www.deltaleadership.org.
Applicants must submit an application, along with a letter of interest and two letters of recommendation: one from a community leader and the other from a state representative, state senator, or congressional member by Monday, May 31. Letters of recommendation should be mailed to Governor Beebe’s office, attention: Amanda Richardson, State Capitol, Suite 238, Little Rock, AR 72201, or call (501) 683-6439 for further information.
