Cohort XI
We will post future application information here.
HKLI is the Twin Cities’ flagship program for developing and training Jewish leaders. Started in 1993, the program established the standard for locally developed, high-level Jewish leadership training programs in the United States and, over the years since, has inspired and assisted emerging leaders in addressing the issues and challenges facing the Twin Cities’ Jews as a community and individually.
Through the course of ten iterations, HKLI has developed and trained nearly 350 individuals. Armed with leadership tools provided by the program, HKLI alumni have assumed critical leadership roles throughout the Twin Cities Jewish community and beyond. Over time, the curriculum has been revised and re-tooled based upon best leadership development practices and the Twin Cities Jewish community's needs.
Our Alumni Network
Over the past 30 years, over 350 people have participated in HKLI. In the past, after the program was complete, the alumni would do what was intended from the program—they would take on leadership roles in the community. We have realized, however, that our job was far from finished. We believe that a strong Jewish community relies on collaboration, and that maintaining leaders’ relationships with each other is integral.
We created the Harry Kay Alumni Network as an opportunity for alumni to reengage with each other during leadership summits, salons, reunions, and other programs.
