As with all worthwhile endeavors, your Emerging Leaders participant will get out of the program what they put into it. Participants are expected to attend all sessions and complete all assigned work

Please complete this form by Friday, September 22. There are other excellent applicants who have been waitlisted; another candidate would be pleased to take this spot should you or your participant feel they cannot make the commitment at this time. Please let Leading From Within know ASAP if you cannot commit to prioritizing your participant’s Emerging Leaders involvement over other work obligations that may arise.

In terms of the commitment expected of you and your Emerging Leaders participant:

  • Please review the program dates below and make sure you are able to support your participants availability.  If there is a conflict, please let us know ASAP.
  • Participants will be responsible for completing approximately three hours of coursework between monthly sessions.

Participant Program Fee: Thanks to our generous donors, the fee charged to each participant is less than half of the cost of putting on the program (almost $6,000 per participant). In support of investing in team leadership development, the participant’s organization is responsible for a payment depending on its budget size:

  • Program Fee is $1,750 for Organizations with budgets under $500,000
  • Program Fee is $2,250 for Organizations with budgets between $500,000 – $1 million
  • Program Fee is $2,750 for Organizations with budgets over $1 million

Cost is not a barrier to being admitted! Additional subsidy is available to anyone based on the capacity of the sponsoring organization and what either the participant or Leading From Within is able to further contribute. Please reach out to our Programs Staff with any questions or concerns regarding program fees.
