Did You Know?

Among APPA’s many initiatives, the Leadership Institute is a year-long intensive opportunity for community corrections professionals to grow their abilities, strengths, and knowledge. Previous graduates have advanced to become senior-level decision-makers in the field.

Students from the Leadership Institute – Class 9 shared some of their experiences from the past 12 months:

  • I really enjoy hearing from different leaders and hearing about what they value.
  • My favorite part is the upbeat presenters and the connection with others in the program, as well as the fantastic mentor I have.
  • I really like the ‘team/family’ feeling that was consistently present and supported.
  • Off-site experiences will be something I will always have to remember. I did the APPA boat which was amazing. I was also able to try several wonderful restaurants around the city with others from our LI9 class. Very grateful to have had this experience while attending the conference. Lifelong memories!
  • I enjoyed the training on REAL colors including learning about my own behaviors and motivations along with how to recognize this in others.
  • My favorite aspect has been the presenters and hearing their stories and experiences, I also really appreciate the ability to meet and network people at our table.
