| Dear Friend of the NRLI Program,
Beginning with our current Class (Class XIV), NRLI will publish a newsletter to coincide with each NRLI session. Each edition will include contributions from the Project Team; an article written by a pair of NRLI Fellows; information on the session venue and issue focus; an overview of the curriculum including tools, skills, and techniques covered; a spotlight on a current class Fellow; and a NRLI alumni spotlight.
In addition, this e-newsletter (NRLI News) will include updates on other NRLI happenings, job announcements, and news from NRLI alumni.
Please e-mail me with suggestions for the newsletter or if you have content you'd like to include in a future edition.
Best,

NRLI Alumni Association
The NRLI Alumni Association is open to all alumni of the program.
If you are not already a member, we encourage you to join! The dues are only $25 annually, or $125 for a lifetime membership, and the funds help support alumni training and enrichment, and alumni-sponsored scholarships for incoming NRLI fellows.
The NRLI Project Team and Alumni Association also encourage all alumni to stay involved with the NRLI program; alumni are always welcome to attend current NRLI sessions, and the Alumni Association is working on increasing the number of training and networking opportunities. Most recently, we held a media training class in Gainesville that covered the basics of communicating with the press, and we are planning a networking event in Tallahassee that will coincide with Class XIV's March session in Wakulla Springs. We also are looking into forming alumni committees to help shape the future of the program and increase alumni engagement, so we encourage anyone who is interested in participating to get in touch with the Alumni Association at [email protected].
Also, stay tuned for a survey in the upcoming newsletter; we hope that all alumni will participate and let us know your preferences for training topics, locations, and future program plans.
