Union Leadership Institute
Professional Development

Union Leadership Institute (ULI) courses are held at the IFT Robert M. Healey Center in Westmont, Ill. Most courses are held over three weekend-long sessions and participants must attend all three sessions in order to complete the course. This year, in addition to core ULI courses, we are offering one-weekend sessions, including a special workshop for local treasurers and a course on Common Core State Standards. Please download the ULI North course listing for class descriptions.

The 2012-13 ULI North training sessions will be held on the following dates:

  • Fall Session: November 17-18, 2012
  • Winter Session: February 2-3, 2013
  • Spring Session: April 27-28, 2013 (register for the Teacher Evaluation Workshop by April 15, 2013)

Registration reminders and invoices for any unpaid fees will be sent to participants before the Winter and Spring sessions. Confirmation notices and training agendas will be mailed prior to each session.

Participants who pay their own registration fees and who are not reimbursed by their locals may be eligible for a reduced registration fee through the UPD rebate process. Information about the Individual Member Rebate is included on the registration form.

Classes fill up quickly, so please don’t delay in submitting your completed registration and payment. A separate registration form must be completed for each ULI participant from your local. Registration cannot be guaranteed unless payment is received with the registration form by the registration deadline.
