SHPE’s ELI Conference Moving Forward • 04.14.09
I am exceedingly encouraged by the news that the 2009 SHPE Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) passed a major hurdle this past Friday when 20 SHPE Members holding advanced management positions were selected to attend.
I was concerned that with the current economic environment, where professional development funds are being cut and similar programs offered by sister organizations are being canceled, that the program would not attract enough interest within the short deadline we established.
Having more than enough qualified applicants sign up in record time shows that SHPE has done a greatjob in designing a program that meets the needs of future executives. We have hit the mark again!
Even better news, we can still accommodate 10 more members. If you have the courage to aspire to some day occupy the corner office, and you meet the criteria for ELI, I encourage you to apply. And please also pass the word that this fine program is still accepting applications.
To find out more about ELI go to the SHPE website, at SHPE.org and click on the Events tab and then on ELI.
