The mission of the Delta Leadership Institute ("DLI") is to recognize, train and develop in its participants in the eight state region the leadership skills needed for the 21st Century in order to face the global challenges of the future. The board of the Delta Regional Authority ("DRA" or "the Authority") has initiated various programs to help the residents of the Delta to reach these goals. One of the priorities of the DRA is to improve the leadership skills of the region's current and future leaders. The DLI is the vehicle through which the DRA will pursue these efforts. The result obtained from the implementation of the DLI programs will be the creation of a cadre of leaders that will work for future improvements in the region by "thinking and acting regionally."

This Request for Proposals ("RFP") solicits from institutions of higher education ("institutions") within the Delta region to work in partnership with the DRA to create a nationally recognized DLI that will prepare state and local leaders to be catalysts for change in the Delta.
