Advancing progress in Palm Beach
In Palm Beach, there is always opportunity for young professionals to grow and enhance their leadership. Through our six-month Institute, NLC Palm Beach provides training and access to networks that help place-based leaders across all industries make Palm Beach more inclusive and equitable for all.
We’ve trained 167 emerging leaders in Palm Beach since 2015.

Not only have I gained new professional connections, I have also gained a new family in my NLC cohort. Despite the challenges of the pandemic I felt just as close, connected, and engaged as being in the same room with my NLC class. I highly recommend it for upcoming leaders.
NLC has given me a community and the confidence to believe in myself again, the same belief, my grandmother had in me to make a positive difference. My family granted me the opportunity at an education to make a difference…The same principle I see with NLC, the strength of one cohort passes down to the next continuing to light the will of leadership. I am inspired by NLC to pass on that gift of education, community leadership, and the simple notion of believing in someone else.
