15. Summer InstituteGeneral Information For those who are not aware, the Summer Institute is a 5-day leadership training experience that is designed to prepare next year's leaders to run effective Nourish chapters. The cost is $150 (a limited number of need-based scholarships are available.) This covers the cost of lodging and food. Though Chapter Leaders typically attend, the Institute is also a valuable leadership opportunity for Exec Board members or general members, as well. We want to send as many people as we can from our chapter. What?!
