Leadership Alumni Association

Leadership-ALUMNI-Color

The Leadership Institute officially launched its Alumni Association in 2009, consisting of graduates from all classes of the Institute. The goals of the Alumni Association include:

  1. Continuing Education/Professional Development
  2. Networking
  3. Community Involvement

The Leadership Institute Alumni Association strives to be a resource for graduates through all phases of their career.  Each year the association will offer graduates the opportunity to continue developing the six core skill-sets covered in the Leadership Institute through advanced and targeted professional development programs.  With three educational programs and one networking program a year - which are open only to Institute alumni - graduates will continue to learn valuable leadership skills and develop the network they need to become the Capital Region's next generation of leaders. 

The Alumni Association is led by a committee of alumni volunteers. If you're interested in getting involved, please contact Claudette Thornton, Director of Marketing & Communications at 518.274.7020 or email an alumni representative below.

Ways to get involved include:
    - Program Committee
    - Ambassador Committee
    - Community Involvement
