Leadership WSSDA

 

Take your leadership skills to the next level!


Veteran school directors with four years or more of school board service are invited to apply to participate in the Leadership WSSDA Class of 2009. Designed to develop proactive, visionary leaders, Leadership WSSDA offers committed school board members from across the state the opportunity to work closely together, sharing ideas and experiences throughout a year-long course. Participants will receive training from content experts in an informal setting, experience issues and solutions first-hand through visits to local schools, and share innovative district programs with fellow board members.

Leadership WSSDA will inspire you to challenge yourself in new ways. You will delve deeper into important issues while creating new connections throughout the state and learning advanced skills and educational methodologies. And, in the process of becoming a more effective agent of change, you will learn to model the ideal of an ethical leader.

Please notify Connie Lauderdale by October 15 of your intent to apply for the program. The deadline for applications is December 5, 2008, and — should you accept the challenge — the first session of the Class of 2009 takes place February 6-8, 2009. You are encouraged to connect with Leadership WSSDA alumni at the WSSDA Annual Conference in November (look for their light blue badge ribbons).

We look forward to receiving your application. All applicants will be notified of their status before the end of the year.
