Leadership Academy is a pipeline to introduce and motivate emerging leaders to engage in their State and Local associations. The program allows  for development skills on a personal and professional level, without the promise of a leadership position. The academy is geared towards individuals who either expressed or were recruited because they genuinely care about showing up and making a difference. Leadership programs across the nations, regardless of industry addresses the prevailing sense of apathy all industries experience. We are all very familiar with the phrase, “If you want something done, ask a busy person” these are the people who show up and its usually the same people.
