Since 1959, the History Leadership Institute (HLI) has helped history professionals develop the skills, insights, and connections they need to lead with purpose and impact. Through immersive learning experiences and a trusted national network, HLI equips leaders to strengthen their organizations and the broader history community.
The HLI Seminar is the field's premier professional development program for mid- and advanced-career professionals at history organizations of all types and sizes. Meeting from May through September 2026, including an intensive two-week, in-person experience, HLI Fellows explore the biggest questions and challenges shaping our field, including human-centered work culture, inclusive practices, facilitating change, centering values, and much, much more.
Led by Andrea Jones, a nationally recognized museum educator and leadership facilitator, the HLI Seminar offers a transformational experience designed to help you lead more effectively—within your institution and across the field.
