Academy of Leadership
Opportunities to demonstrate leadership skills abound in EWI, and it is with this understand that we developed the Academy of Leadership in 2001. The Academy of Leadership (AOL) coursework and programming is a way of
continually empowering members and their firms to learn, grow, and personify leadership with their work environments and in their personal lives.
The Academy of Leadership provides an intense, collaborative and meaningful discovery of an attendee's skill sets, strengths and opportunities for improvement. Each member must have participated in four full one-day modules in
order to graduate and become Alumnae. Since 2001, hundreds of EWI members have participated in the Academy of Leadership and are now Alumnae.
The AOL is composed of distinct courses of workshops which develop leadership skills to their full potential. Each course fosters principle-focused leadership through the use of research, best practices, behavioral models and
support. Our Academy finds its strength and style in its focus on behaviors. Academy participants are introduced to the history and philosophy of leadership, taught to influence and motivate others within the context of leadership,
and are encouraged to become centers of influence in their firms, Chapters, and communities.The Academy of Leadership embraces a three-fold philosophy:
- Leadership can and must be taught
