The Leadership Institute, funded by The May and Stanley Smith Charitable Trust, is an opportunity to come together with other California agency leaders to learn from each other, leading experts, self-advocates and their families, and funders.
The expected outcomes of the California Leadership Institute include:
-Exploring new service models − Developing leaders who think beyond the current “traditional” service models – Succession planning − Developing “next in line” leaders and preparing them for executive level positions
The University of Delaware will bring their week long intensive program that will support leaders to transform supports in California for people who have an intellectual or developmental disability. Guest speakers and self-advocates from California will supplement an agenda of compelling workshops, leadership learning activities and presentations.
