Description

Community Development Institute is returning to Louisiana in 2025! 

As a satellite site of CDI Central at the University of Central Arkansas, we are excited to host this training in the state of Louisiana. 

Both President/CEO Lisa Johnson and Vice President Jessica Hemingway, PCED, have completed all three years of the CDI training plus a bonus advanced year. 

As we  host CDI in Louisiana, we are hosting all three sessions of training in one year - keeping the small cohort of 30 engaged citizens together for training together in 2025. 

The dates are: February 18-21, June 16-19, September 29-Oct. 3

The institute builds the capacity of individuals and communities to positively impact economic and social development. This is achieved by expanding individual’s ability to identify community assets, set goals, encourage collaboration and partnerships with stakeholders, and bringing together groups of people to respond to a broad range of economic and quality of life issues.

Be a part of this training that creates communities with robust economies, a flourishing quality of life, and diverse and engaged citizen leaders. By sponsoring or attending the institute, you are reaffirming your (or your business') commitment to training that leads to healthy and vibrant communities.
