The ANCOR Foundation launched the Leadership Academy in May 2017 to nurture emerging leaders who are building their careers in services and supports for people with disabilities. Over the course of two years, the Foundation provides training and mentoring opportunities to support mid-career professionals in cultivating their areas of expertise and thought-leadership to build influence and reputation in the national I/DD community as the next generation of leaders.
In this episode you’ll hear from three graduates of the program, Rachel Fuller (Skills, Inc.), Liz Armentrout (Systems Unlimited), and Jordan Eddings (LifeSkills, Inc.). They’ll discuss what drew them to the opportunity, their experiences, learnings and challenges during the program, the camaraderie built with others in their class, and so much more.
