Leadership Academy Class Develops Innovations and Best Practices

LeadingAge New York graduated its third class of IGNITE Leadership Academy fellows at our annual conference in May. This talented group of senior living leaders are helping to map the future for our not-for-profit membership. Each IGNITE Leadership Academy graduate is tasked with taking what they learned in the program to develop and implement an Action Learning Project. This is a learning-by-doing approach which encourages people to work together to solve a problem or improve performance. The project is a way for our leaders to learn how to facilitate the group process, and inspire and motivate others to achieve goals and improve quality. It also provides an opportunity for the graduates to give back to their organizations, which invested in them by sending them to the program.
