The Professional Development Center is accepting nominations for its 2016 Creative Leadership program, an individualized program of self-awareness, personal growth, and professional development designed to enhance individual leadership potential. The Creative Leadership program (formerly known as Achieving Success through Leadership, or ASTL) is designed for individuals who currently hold leadership positions at Buffalo State and are interested in enhancing their leadership effectiveness, including directors, department chairs, associate vice presidents, and others who have significant leadership roles on campus.

The Creative Leadership program has been offered for the past 10 years with very high levels of participant satisfaction. The program has been revised this year in response to evaluation outcomes and suggestions from program alumni.

Highlights of changes:

• The program will be five months long and will include eight half-day workshops along with monthly coaching sessions.
• Several 90-minute cohort meetings will be held during the final weeks of the program.
• Participants will form several Action Teams designed to formulate creative solutions to a current campus challenge.

Nominations must be endorsed and submitted by the applicant’s respective vice president or chief officer. In addition to the commitment required of participants, supervisors must commit to completing a multi-rater assessment to provide feedback.

Thank you for your support of leadership development at Buffalo State.
