• Identify and motivate individuals with leadership potential;

• Acquaint participants with issues, needs, challenges, and opportunities in higher education, community college, and community;

• Engage participants in information sharing, exchange of ideas, and networking;

• Challenge potential leaders to become involved with issues, the decision-making process, and professional development;

• Provide participants with skills, opportunities, and mentors for leadership development.

   

To be eligible, you must have:

• Been a full-time employee at SouthArk for at least one year,

• An evaluation that is above expectations,

• The approval of your department/division supervisor,

• And have their full support – for you and the time required to participate in the 9 month/9 session program.

South Arkansas College will schedule another Leadership Class soon to assist in the professional development of our employees.
