Leadership Institute Cohort Series
At Council’s request, the
APS Leadership Institute reimagined their approach to leadership development by targeting committee chairs and vice chairs to:
- Facilitate smoother transitions in committee leadership
- Enable lagging committees to reengage
- Provide a platform through which committee chairs/vice chairs can interact more directly
All Committees and Offices have been divided into cohorts. Invitations to these series will be sent from APS headquarters and on demand presentations will be posted to this webpage. The virtual series will focus on the following topic areas:
- Topic Area 1: Roles & Responsibilities: Connecting to the APS Strategic Plan, Delegation as Chair - leading, managing, identifying/mentoring next leaders (July 15, 20, 21, 2021)
