Leadership Development Academy
I am proud to announce that the El Paso Community College Leadership Development Academy is now celebrating its fifth year anniversary with the Class of 2009, which will run from January through December 2009.
The goal of the Academy is to develop leadership qualities, characteristics, and skills for full-time and part-time faculty and staff currently in positions of leadership and for those wanting to advance into these positions.

For Academy participation, position of leadership is defined as having the official responsibility for staffing, workload assignment, and performance evaluation of at least five (5) employees, or serving as an officer in an EPCC employee association.
The Academy offers two tracks of training. Track I, Fundamentals of Leadership, is open to all EPCC employees. Track II, Advanced Leadership, is open to all EPCC employees who currently hold positions of leadership. Each track consists of ten instructional modules presented in four-hour increments each month, two-day participation in the Border Learning Conference, and a two-day summer retreat. In order to be considered for the Academy you must submit an Application for Admission and a Supervisor’s Statement of Support.
I congratulate the Leadership Development Committee for their dedication in structuring the Academy and their continued commitment to this effort. I also congratulate the participants from the Class of 2009 who are currently in training. I strongly support the Academy and I am committed to making it a training opportunity of which we can all be proud.
