Message from the President

I am proud to announce that El Paso Community College is now accepting applications for the third year of the Leadership Development Academy, which will run from January through December, 2007. The goal of the Academy is to develop leadership qualities, characteristics, and skills for employees 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 full-time EPCC employees. Track II, Advanced Leadership, is open to all full-time 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.


Richard M. Rhodes, Ph.D.
President
