Advanced Leadership Training Program (ALTP)

This is one of the main activities of the Institute. Approximately forty-five fellows participate in this year-long leadership learning experience. As of May 2014, we will have completed 16 classes and graduated over 640 fellows from Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. This program is designed to help current and emerging leaders to understand their leadership behaviors, make use of the collaborative process to address complex problems, become proficient at coaching protégés and colleagues, and create a network of colleagues whose expertise they can draw upon in the decades to come. Please note that we will begin taking applications in January 2016 for the Class of 2016-2017. (Full program details…)
