JAMES E. CLYBURN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

Established in 2021 by Omega Network For Action, the James E. Clyburn Leadership Institute (JECLI) will operate as a training arm of the organization with the primary purpose of cultivating the next generation of legislative leaders. During a 12-month cohort, selected participants will become Fellows and receive guidance as well as tools for running effective, ethical campaigns to win elected office. Sample topics the JECLI will cover range from Campaign Financing to Organizing Principles to Coalition Building.

 

The JECLI has accepted seven individuals into the second class for the 2024/2025 programming year. The Fellows accepted into the second cohort include Gloria Cooper-Blue, Anthony Jackson, Sean Long, Shara Morrow, Johnny Sellers, Denise Smith, and Stephanie Yarborough.

Developers of the James E. Clyburn Leadership Institute believe that African Americans should not only have the opportunity to fulfill their civic duties as public servants, but also have the requisite skill set to successfully do so.
