Second ASCLS Leadership Academy in Full Swing
After a successful first year in the ASCLS Leadership Academy, the second class began its journey toward becoming more effective leaders at the ASCLS Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, on July 27-29th.
The class will continue to meet in three face-to-face meetings and six conference calls during the 2008-2009 year. They will also work on group projects and other assignments. Curriculum topics include leadership styles, communication, mentoring, team building, motivation, public speaking and presentation skills, writing skills and strategic planning.
This year’s class represents six of the ten ASCLS Regions and nine different states. They have varying levels of experience in both ASCLS and the profession but all are ready to prepare themselves to step into leadership positions.
