Details for Applicants and Participants
Applications are due by November 12, 2010 for the January 23 - 28, 2011 Institute.
The fee of $1,900
includes materials, most lunches, and two dinners.
Institute Highlights:
The class is limited to a select group of emerging leaders offering opportunity for collaboration and an enduring network of support. Approximately 25 people will be accepted, with participation limited to one person per organization.
A fair amount of preparation work is required. Participants will be asked to read several books, to submit a personal leadership challenge, and to take a 360 degree assessment of leadership skills prior to the Leadership Institute.
The Institute is held on the campus of the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware; approximately 50 minutes from Philadelphia and one hour from Baltimore.
Travel and lodging are at the expense of the participant.
Most participants stay at Courtyard Newark-University of Delaware. The room rate is $154/night including a full breakfast.
Each Leadership Institute begins early Sunday afternoon with a welcome luncheon and ends before noon on Friday.
We accept only one person at a time from an organization. The reason for this is to assure that all participants are free to speak freely about their concerns or challenges. If your organization would like more than one person to attend you should decide who should apply first and hold future applications for a future Institute (Leadership Institutes are generally held each Winter and Summer) or, if two or more individuals apply for the same Institute, applicants may be deferred for acceptance to a future session.
Cancellations will be accepted only until five weeks before the start date of the Institute. Prior to that date, cancellations must be made in writing (e-mail is acceptable, please confirm that we have received) and funds will be returned, minus a $100 processing fee. There will be no refunds after that date and, if an intended participant cancels after that date or is a no-show, the full registration fee will still be owed. We regret that we cannot offer refunds for late cancellations or no shows, however, if your agency would like to substitute another appropriate individual, this can be done with prior approval.
University of Delaware graduate credits are available for this course. Participants wishing to receive graduate credits will be required to pay an additional fee. A limited number of fellowships and scholarships may be available.
