The APPA Leadership Institute is a twelve month journey of self-discovery and organizational change for community corrections professionals. It is a collaboration of the American Probation & Parole Association, the National Association of Probation Executives, the Correctional Management Institute of Texas at Sam Houston State University, and the National Institute of Corrections.
The APPA Leadership Institute has been designed to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of leadership within the community corrections arena. It is intended for people from various backgrounds and cultures; those who have had experience exercising leadership and those who have not. It aims to increase one’s critical thinking skills and analytical abilities to sustain the demands of leadership and to further develop one’s capacity to exercise leadership and authority. Drawing from several disciplines, the course will foster in participants the analytical framework for intervening in political, organizational, and sub-service delivery systems to advance the objectives of community corrections.
