Union Pacific Foundation Continues The Principals' Partnership in Montana Public High Schools
The Principals’ Partnership and Nonprofit Organizations in Montana Receive $20,100 from Union Pacific Foundation
Omaha, Neb., March 10, 2008 – Union Pacific Foundation is granting $20,100 to fund The Principals' Partnership and projects submitted by nonprofit organizations in Montana.
The Principals' Partnership, the signature giving program of Union Pacific Foundation, will continue to serve as a professional resource to three public high school principals in Montana. This is the fifth year the program has been in Montana. Additionally, the Foundation is providing grants to five nonprofit organizations in the state.
"Union Pacific continues our association with the great organizations located where our employees live and work because we know they help make those communities a better place," said Bob Turner, president of Union Pacific Foundation. "We are also very proud of our award winning program that supports public high school principals called The Principals' Partnership. Union Pacific created The Partnership because we believe strong leaders build strong schools and ultimately, stronger communities."
The Principals' Partnership assists approximately 1,000 principals with responsibilities for more than 1 million students. The six-year-old program helps fulfill principals' leadership needs through a number of opportunities, including research, networking and workshops. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the Partnership starts with the professional needs of each principal and offers an individually customized program to meet those needs. The program is offered at no cost to the school, the district or the principal.
The Principals' Partnership was created seven years ago and is offered to public high school principals in key communities served by Union Pacific. The program extends to principals in Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
