Without time to rest and reenergize, the pressures can prove overwhelming and result in a loss of creative and critical leadership.

Beyond the basic eligibility criteria, the Alston Bannerman Program seeks applicants whose work: attacks root causes of inequity by organizing those affected to take collective strategic action; challenges the systems that perpetrate injustice and effects institutional and structural change; builds community capacity for democratic participation and develops grassroots leadership; acknowledges the cultural values of the community; creates accountable participatory structures in which community members have decision-making power; and contributes to building a movement for social change by making connections between issues, developing alliances with other constituencies, and collaborating with other organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>For more information: <a href="http://www.centerforsocialinclusion.org/leadership/alston-bannerman-sabbatical-fellows/">http://www.centerforsocialinclusion.org/leadership/alston-bannerman-sabbatical-fellows/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Fulbright Program<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Deadline: August 1, 2012<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The core Fulbright Scholar Program sends 800 U.S. faculty and professionals abroad each year.
