Over the past few years, students have been choosing to take most of their courses online, so we haven’t had the need for a huge campus with residence halls and meeting space. Last year, NLC’s Board of Trustees decided to sell the 47-acre property and relocate the College. After much research and investigation, we have decided to move to downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Just this week, NLC entered into an exclusive “Letter of Intent” to sell the Silver Spring property to a partnership composed of Reid Temple AME Church and the Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County. There are several steps before the sale is final, but this is an important first one for the College.

What he didn’t know is that it would be a life-changing experience for him, not only because of what he learned about organizing, but because of what he would learn about himself.

If you’re looking to beef up your skills in Organizing, Arbitration or Contract Negotiation, sign up and pay before July 1, 2012, to save at least $70 per class. But don’t take our word for it…

Lark Escobar, an AFGE union steward, believes that taking the April Negotiating and Writing Contract Language Course was the best choice she’s made as a steward.

“This class is essential for newer union stewards,” says Lark. “It equips you with the knowledge and tools to begin or refine your negotiation and contract writing skills.”
