About BCLI:
The Boards & Commissions Leadership Institute (BCLI) provides public policy training for our Sacramento area community advocates. It's time that neighborhood leaders have not just a voice, but a seat on the dais.
For our training institute, we seek out and recruit people from low-income communities and communities of color who have a proven track record of leadership as social justice advocates in their neighborhoods. They’re distinguished by a passion to change systems by learning the important aspects of public policy development from the inside. We deeply invest in each cohort through our 6-week BCLI fellowship, which teaches advocates how to understand complex and intersecting policy arenas, navigate the culture and language of commissions, and build effective relationships in and outside the commission.
Public policy topics covered by the BCLI:
Power, Privilege & Structural Racialization
Land Use and Affordable Housing
Robert's/Rosenberg's Rules of Order, Ethics & Storytelling
Health Equity & Environmental Justice
Transportation Justice
Workplace Equity/Labor 101
Time Commitment:
(6) Consecutive Saturdays beginning February 26th, 2022 thru April 2nd, 2022
Saturday Sessions: 10:00am - 2:00pm via Zoom
