Chapter Leadership Seminar

The Chapter Leadership Seminar (CLS) brings Chapter Executive Directors and Board Members, together with Industry Partners, NYLI, and Staff and Board of Directors, from across the country for three days to participate in a series of training activities.

This annual seminar aims to:

• Share non-profit best practices
• Discuss many other topics that improve Chapters' abilities to provide meaningful programs and services to people living with bleeding disorders
