The L.E.A.D. Group

Entry Details

As a small chapter, finding leaders can be a challenge as there are only so many members to call on. What we found is that there are newer members eager to serve, however, they may be new to their club or the industry as a whole and they lacked the confidence to serve. The L.E.A.D. program was designed to gain input from younger members and let them develop into emerging leaders! We are hopeful this group provides us with a pipeline of engaged volunteers for years to come.

Implementation

The L.E.A.D. group was created to find 3-4 emerging leaders who wanted to provide ideas and increase engagement from their clubs while developing an understanding of our CMAA chapter. We meet a couple times a year to brainstorm, talk through ideas and generally have a good time getting to know one another. Those in our inaugural L.E.A.D group have found great value through connection and giving back to a professional organization.
