2.Technology and the Program

From the Program Overview: “Leadership's collaborative structure promotes

ongoing communication among all participants. The program is an international one; yet even though participants are from all over the world, they take part in regularly scheduled meetings and conferences to exchange ideas and to provide support for each other. Between meetings, the Internet becomes the method by which participants discuss theories, suggest ways for fulfilling competency requirements, and share insights.”

[Leadership Program Handbook, p4)
