What participants are saying
“This program was transformative for me and for our rural community. I credit it with opening doors to national funding opportunities such as the Robert Wood Johnson-funded “Raising Places” effort. It sparked an intellectual curiosity that has expanded my leadership capacity while also nurturing a deep-seated sense of joy and purpose. I can’t thank the Academy enough!”
"The program brought the team together and engaged them in a commitment that cemented the team for long-term performance. That commitment has been the impetus for others to want to be engaged and participating."
