Project Description:

The Academy is a collaboration between AUCD and CLD designed to enhance the skills of current and emerging leaders from the disability network to build coalitions to improve systems of supports and services. Academy participants come from UCEDDs, LENDs, and their disability partners for a week of study, shared experiences, self-evaluation, and skill development. Participants engage with their cohort, Academy staff, local coaches, and national allies in the year following the experience. The Academy focuses on the exploration of shared values and commitments to civil and human rights, assessments of personal and leadership strengths, skills in building partnerships to achieve collective impact, and establishing personal and professional leadership goals.
