Our Leadership Academy program was created to develop leadership skills in employees who have demonstrated excellent leadership potential and have an interest in pursuing future leadership responsibilities at the College.
Academy participants are exposed to a broad range of professional presentations relevant to developing future leaders, including self-discovery, professional intelligence, stress management, and diversity awareness.
We made some exciting changes to the program by adding a new Action-Learning Project to the roster of activities. Academy participants, divided into competing groups, were asked to develop a comprehensive solution to an important need at the College. The winning team consisted of Jodilynn Greico, Karen Griffith, Daisy Mercado, Michael Murphy, Eileen MacAvery Kane and Ydania Santos. The winners will be rewarded by having their project funded.
