Summer Leadership Academy Registration
SLA IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Back to Basics. Back to Schools. Back to the Future of Training.
The Illinois Education Association Summer Leadership Academy (SLA) will be held July 27 – July 30, 2010 at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois.
Last summer all IEA local presidents were invited to a Training Assessment and Development Summit to help shape the future of the Summer Leadership Academy (SLA). Now you are invited to the 2010 SLA to experience the beginning of a much anticipated reshaping of IEA leadership training.
The theme for the 2010 Summer Leadership Academy is Leadership Fundamentals: Power, Endurance, Strength. Leadership is fundamental to achieving the mission of IEA, which is “to effect excellence and equity in public education and to be THE advocacy organization for all public education employees.”
