PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: NACADA Emerging Leaders Program is now accepting applications for the 2020- 2022 class!

The NACADA Emerging Leaders Program is accepting applications for Emerging Leaders and Mentors for the 2020-2022 Class. The deadline to submit applications is March 15, 2020. All application materials can be submitted online via the Online Submission Portal.

The purpose of NACADA Emerging Leaders Program is to:

  • encourage members from diverse groups to get involved in leadership opportunities within the organization,
  • outfit participants with the skills and tools necessary to pursue elected and appointed leadership positions,
  • increase the number of leaders from diverse groups, and
  • encourage and assist members of populations who are under-represented in the association's leadership to attend state, regional, or annual conferences.

Each year, 10 Emerging Leaders and 10 Mentors are selected for the two-year program in which the Leaders and Mentors work closely on connecting the Leaders to the areas of the association they are interested in and in developing a plan for continued involvement and growth in potential association leadership.
