Manager's Leadership Development Series 2010/11 
Specifically designed for U of S Managers, the Managers’ Leadership Series is a new series of professional development opportunities that supplement the Managers’ Skill Development Series. The Managers’ Leadership Series will be offered this fall – review the Schedule Overview below for details.
Whether you are a new or seasoned manager (especially if you have completed some or all of the Managers Skill Development Series), you will find the Managers’ Leadership Series an opportunity to explore university leadership strategies, further develop your own leadership skills and align with the goals and strategic directions of the institution.
Each session will facilitate learning in the university context with opportunities for group dialogue and discussion to ensure relevance for each individual manager.
To register for all or some of the Managers' Leadership Series:
- Call 966-5539 to register.
- The cost for each module is $125. The annual Accountable Professional Expense Fund (APEF) allocation is sufficient to cover the cost of the entire Managers' Leadership Series.
- A valid CFOAPAL account number is required to register. Your APEF is a valid CFOAPAL.
- To view your APEF balance, please visit the "My Professional Funds" channel in the Admin Services tab in PAWS.
The new Managers’ Leadership Series is an excellent opportunity to explore university leadership strategies, further develop your own leadership skills and align with the goals and strategic directions of the institution.
If you are unable to attend the sessions offered this fall, we are offering a second set of sessions starting in April 2011. Please also watch for communications coming soon for the renewed Managers’ Skill Development Series commencing in January 2011.
