Leadership Academy

The Leadership Academy

Thank you to those that attended this year's Academy in Scottsdale, AZ. It was a very successful event. See the photographs from the Academy.

The purpose of The Leadership Academy is to enhance and further develop leadership throughout the educational industry.  The Leadership Academy provides opportunities for professionals to increase their awareness of industry issues, to learn the skills necessary to handle today's changes, and to discover the leadership potential within each of us.

The Leadership Academy has been developed for, and focuses on, the educational institution's administrative professionals.  These include: facilities staff, buyers/purchasing agents, business/finance professionals, and auxiliary services professionals.  The program is designed in tracks, with each track emphasizing a different perspective and type of leadership skill. The four tracks that comprise the Academy are:

Track I: Individual Effectiveness Skills

Track II: Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills

Track III: Managerial Effectiveness Skills 

Track IV: Organizational Effectiveness Skills

Each track builds on one another, and you are strongly encouraged to complete Track I first.  Participants remain in one track throughout the week.  This immersion approach is designed to foster the development of strong professional relationships among participants.  Completion of each track is required prior to filing for graduation from the program.
