2013 YOUNG LEADERS

About

Washington, DC- The United States – Spain Council (USSC) today announced the dates for the annual 2013 Young Leaders Program to increase understanding and knowledge of Spain, and the important bilateral relationship between the two countries. The Young Leaders week long program will be held in Spain April 7th through the 12th.

In its 13th year, the program is in conjunction with our Spanish counterparts, the Fundación Consejo España – Estados Unidos. The USSC offers this invaluable, career-enhancing opportunity to 10 young professionals, of varied occupations and backgrounds, from the United States.

Candidates must be between 30 and 45 years of age at the time of travel, citizens of the United States, and have an outstanding record of achievement in their profession.

Interested applicants should send a completed application form (Click Here), a current resume, one letter of recommendation, and a brief, one-page essay describing what you would hope to learn from this program and why you would be a good addition to the U.S.-Spain Young Leaders Program.

Please send all Applications via email to info@usspaincouncil.org

The Council will not accept any applications via mail and encourages applicants to send their questions via email instead of calling.

Applications are due by February 22nd, 2013.

Announcements will be made in early March. The program will be held in Madrid with two one-day trips to Barcelona and Sevilla.

Please forward this announcement to anyone who may be interested in the program, or please let us know of any outstanding young leaders you would like to recommend. You may also copy this information and include it with the website links in separate communications to your own constituencies (via newsletters, listserv announcements, etc).

Thank you for your interest in and support of this important program.
