Program
Overview
The Diversity
Committee has developed the NACADA Emerging Leaders
program to
Diversity,
as defined by the NACADA Board of Directors, includes
ethnicity, gender, gender identity, disabilities,
and sexual orientation as well as diversity
in regard to institutional type, size,
and employment position. Involvement
in the association also is viewed broadly including leadership
at many levels (within the division units, at the division
level, at the Council level, at the Board of Directors
level, and with the various work groups, ad hoc committees,
Advisory Boards, and task forces), serving on the Consultants
& Speakers Service, writing for the NACADA Journal,
Academic Advising Today, and the NACADA Clearinghouse
of Academic Advising Resources, or presenting at
state, allied member, regional, and national conferences.
Annually
10 Emerging Leaders
and 10 Mentors
will be selected for the two-year program in which the
Leaders and Mentors will work closely on connecting the
Leaders to the areas of the association they are interested
in and in developing a plan for continued involvement
and growth in the association. Leaders selected will receive
for the first year of the program $1,500.00 to assist
them with travel to state, regional and national conferences.
In
addition to these leaders, the 10 NACADA Regions will
invest at least $1,000 annually toward supporting Emerging
Leaders in the Regions. More information on the Region
focus will be forthcoming.
After
reviewing the additional information on the program, if
