The Central New York Political Leadership Institute (CNY PLI), a program of Leadership Greater Syracuse, is for those who want to run for office, volunteer for a campaign, or simply learn about the political process. CNY PLI will be offered in 2025 for its 16th year. The training is a nonpartisan, eight-week, evening program designed to teach individuals the nuts and bolts of navigating the political process. A key component to the program is its nonpartisan structure — no issues are discussed. Registration is now open for 2025 and closes on Jan. 31. The first class is on Feb. 4. For anyone who thinks they may be interested but want to learn more, this free, virtual information session is for you.
