NCBI Philadelphia members have many local and international leadership development opportunities throughout the year.

Chapter Meetings
Monthly chapter meetings are opportunities for NCBI Philadelphia members to develop their individual leadership skills in a facilitated setting. Led by the President or other Chapter members, chapter meetings focus on learning new information about oppression and how they and others may experience it; practicing leading parts of the workshop models; gaining support and suggestions from peer leaders; and participating in the personal growth work that enables leaders to understand and fight oppressive situations more effectively.

Chapter meetings are open to anyone who has a attended a 3-day or 5-day Train the Trainer (TTT), or to people who have attended the Building Bridges workshop, by invitation from the President.

Local Constituency Meetings
Constituency meetings provide NCBI Philadelphia members with support and growth opportunities that are specifically tailored to the particular needs and interests of people who share a similar culture, background, or social identity. These meetings are coordinated and facilitated by NCBI Philadelphia staff or volunteer members who have demonstrated interest and understanding of the specific issues relevant to their own identity group.

NCBI Philadelphia currently provides support group opportunities for five constituency groups: Women, LGBTQ, Jewish, Black African Heritage, and White Allies. Contact the President for access to any of these groups.

International Constituency Retreats
Through our connection with NCBI International, NCBI Philadelphia can offer its members annual opportunities to meet with NCBI members from around the world to develop their leadership skills with an emphasis on how their social identity groups impact their skills and abilities. Each of NCBI International's seven constituency groups holds its own annual retreat, led by the highly-trained International Constituency Leader for that group. Currently, the constituency groups include: Women, Men, LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer), Black African Heritage, Asian Heritage, Latino/a, and Jewish.

International Associates Meeting
Twice a year, NCBI International offers a three-day conference for its NCBI members around the globe, who convene in Washington, DC to work on furthering their skills as leaders. Associates Meetings provide opportunities to learn from other NCBI members throughout the US, Canada, and Europe, as well as to participate in more in-depth personal growth work.

Chapter Development
Every other year, the Executive Director of NCBI International comes to Philadelphia to provide an advanced leadership development workshop for the entire Philadelphia chapter. This two-day event is a time for chapter members to learn information about new international programs and initiatives, to participate in team-building with the Philadelphia chapter, and to focus on the personal work that they need to do to build their own leadership abilities. Chapter Development is also a time to provide support, assessment, and feedback for the Philadelphia President.
