Our Mission

The LeadingAge Leadership Institute provides meaningful leadership and growth opportunities which emphasize the vital importance of relationship building, emotional intelligence and transformational leadership skills.

Values

  • Integrity and Honesty
  • Collaboration and Commitment
  • Responsiveness and Open Communication
  • Respect and Generous Listening
  • Trust Building
  • Innovation

Benefits

  • Learn how leaders become more authentic through clarification of personal values and their own leadership philosophy.
  • Understand the concepts behind distributed leadership and empowerment.
  • Explore how paradigm shifts occur, supporting environments of creativity and innovation.
  • Become aware of how a leader’s emotions influence the workplace and everyone in it.
  • Discover the secret of building trust at multiple levels-with others, within organizations, and communities at large.

Eligibility

The program is available to anyone who works for a LeadingAge Washington member, in any member category, irrespective of clinical or managerial experience. It is far more important for potential Washington Fellows to demonstrate deep leadership potential within their organizations than it is for them to carry specific job titles.

A $1,950. tuition payment* (non-refundable and transferable) is required from each Washington Fellow’s organization. In addition, lodging and travel expenses are also paid by each Washington Fellow’s organization (the costs incurred vary depending on the locations of the site visits). Meals are provided during the conferences at no additional cost.

LeadingAge provides complimentary registration for each Washington Fellow to our Annual Conference in the spring. An estimated 70 Education Units will also be provided for your 2024 participation.

Washington Fellows should plan on spending 10-15 hours a month working on the LeadingAge Leadership Institute activities.

Washington Fellows will need access to a personal computer for regular e-mail contacts with their Coaches and Fellows.
