Emerging Transformational Leadership Program (ETLP)
ETLP is designed to help select individuals reach their potential as individual leaders who transform systems of care for people with developmental disabilities. This training program will build critical leadership skills, prepare individuals for the challenges of their own life-long leadership journeys, and develop an awareness of the rich opportunities for leadership in South Florida and beyond. The year-long curriculum engages a small group of select individuals in experiential learning in the community, practical skills-building activities, and dynamic interactions with established and emerging community leaders. A group project encourages participants to learn to harness the full potential of individuals and groups in our community, foster relationships that bridge diversity on many levels, and create innovative, sustainable solutions to the complex issues that face the disability community in South Florida.
From feedback, we have learned that it would be more effective to start the group project earlier in the program and have a larger cohort of Fellows if possible. The coordinator and consultant should also be more active in mentoring and assisting groups with communication breakdowns. We should also do a better job of keeping in touch with alumni and learning how they integrate what they learned through ETLP into their work and lives.
