Announcing: The Charles H. Cook Awards for Excellence in Indian Leadership

For the last 97 years the Cook Leadership School has been providing education and tools for empowerment for American Indians to be effective leaders in their communities. Though the focus has been primarily on religious education, the school launched the Native American Community Leadership Program (NACLP) in 2007, a non-religious program whose mission is to promote and provide leadership education and training for a broader scope of current and future leaders. The NACLP is proud to present this award as an opportunity to celebrate young people who are demonstrating the principles of good leadership through involvement in their community. Honorees will receive a cash reward of $500.00 and will be highlighted in an upcoming issue of Indian Highways, a publication of the Cook Leadership School.
