and delivering presentations, knowing how
to effectively network, the tips for successful
interviewing, and understanding behavioral
styles in negotiating. In addition, the
program provides information about the basics
for business etiquette, chairing and efficiently
running meetings—large & small,
setting values and goals, understanding
the advocacy process and grassroots organizing,
and media relations.
Each

of 15 participants), the IDP Leadership
