Institute of Politics

For over forty years, the IOP has worked to educate individuals interested in politics and political leadership in our region. Today, more than ever, we need to call forth citizens whose vision includes a vibrant New Orleans, one in which our traditions meet with realities of life in post-Katrina south Louisiana.

Specifically, we are searching for people who have the talent and willingness to make a difference in the political process and take on the leadership roles which are so needed as we rebuild New Orleans.

The IOP would like to thank all who came out to the 4th Annual Renwick Lecture.  We hope that everyone enjoyed Donna Brazile.  She was outstanding!!!

Also, for those of you on twitter, the IOP is now tweeting at: LOYNOIOP.

As always, should you wish to apply for next year's class you may do so on this site and we will keep it on file for the 2013-2014 class.
