Intended to build a pool of skilled leadership educators within the LeadingAge membership, this intimate, three month program prepares participants to:

• Develop leadership education for a variety of settings and audiences, including staff meetings, board retreats as well as peer mentoring and state-based leadership development initiatives.
• Incorporate classic leadership theory as well as non-traditional education methodologies into curriculum design and facilitation work.
• Use leadership principles to draw on the knowledge, expertise and perspectives of peers to create a shared learning environment.

An important purpose of the program is to help forge a network of peers that will provide guidance and support to one another as they advance leadership education in our field.
