Here are some comments from last year's attendees:

 

"The Leadership Academy fulfilled a critical step in my professional growth.
The weeklong program spanned a range of topics from innovative thinking and
strategic planning to fostering positive governance structures and
philanthropy engagement. In addition to these resources, the personal
connections made with fellow attendees and presenters
have aided me as I move forward in my career. I absolutely encourage my
colleagues to attend this program so we can continue to build strong
leadership within the communities we serve." 


"This whole program was well-conceived and planned, and came at a perfect
time for me. I was extremely impressed with each presenter and what they
brought to the table. The conversations fostered here will serve as a road
map for future discussions at my institution."


"This was incredibly inspiring/helpful and unique. Ten years of conference
material in one intensive experience."
