NEW LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM – "LEADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT FOR THE 21ST CENTURY (LEAD 21): LINKING RESEARCH,
ACADEMICS, AND
EXTENSION"
In early 2003 the National Extension Leadership
Development (NELD) program Advisory Council and the ESCOP/ACOP
Advisory Committee
agreed that there should be a more concerted effort to plan and
implement a single leadership development program that would serve
the future needs of the land grant system and Cooperative State
Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES). A joint Leadership
Planning Committee was established in November 2003 by ESCOP, ECOP,
ACOP,** and CSREES. In addition to research, academics, extension
and CSREES, committee members also represented 1862, 1890, and
1994 institutions.
The Leadership Planning Committee developed a proposal for a new
leadership development program, which has recently been approved
to replace NELD and ESCOP/ACOP as the primary national-level leadership
development program serving the needs of land grant universities’ colleges
of agricultural, environmental, and consumer sciences and CSREES.
This program, designated “Leadership Development for the
21st Century (LEAD 21): Linking Research, Academics, and Extension”,
is intended to meet the future needs for leadership development
of faculty, specialists, program and team leaders, research station
and center directors, district and regional directors, department
heads and chairs, and others.
The first class of LEAD 21 will begin in June 2005 and we anticipate
a formal call for applications will be distributed in January.
Watch for this announcement.
** These are the “COPS,” the acronyms of the Committees
on Organization and Policy (COP) for each of the areas Extension
(ECOP), Experiment Stations (ESCOP), and Academic programs (ACOP),
of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant
Colleges (NASULGC).
