We are now accepting applications for the Center for Leadership program. With more than 100 graduates who are now emerging as effective leaders in aging services in Kansas, we need to begin growing the next generation of leaders. Each class meets 4 times a year in October, January, March and July with the following topics:
- Discovering Your Authentic Leadership: To understand ourselves so we can better lead others
- Leading Through Advocacy and Community Relationships: To understand trust in advocacy and community building
- Leading Change: To explore our potential as change agents in our organizations and in the field of aging services
- Leading Empowering and Motivating: To uncover what motivates us and others and learn how to build successful teams
During the months class isn’t in session, they are connecting in smaller coaching groups to discuss how they are implementing the leadership tools provided and building lasting relationships. Participants will develop an action learning project to benefit their organization.
In 2007, the LeadingAge Kansas Board implemented this program to grow leaders in aging services in Kansas. In 2017, 4 graduates who have emerged as great leaders were elected to the Board and are impacting our field in countless ways. It’s time to invest in the next generation of leaders. Send this link to an up and coming leader in your organization and have them apply.
