Program Directors Fall Institute – Leadership Matters
KYAE is sponsoring a two-day Program Directors Fall Institute on August 21 and 22 at the Marriott Griffin Gate Hotel in Lexington. The name of the conference is “Leadership Matters” and will focus on developing the knowledge and skills of local directors to be strong program leaders focused on quality instruction for their students. Pre-conference and conference sessions will cover issues faced and information needed by program directors in their roles as administrative and instructional leaders. New policies will be presented and sessions will be held around themes such as leadership, personnel and fiscal management and instructional leadership as well as other topics.
Participation in the institute is required and every program must be represented by a program director. In addition, each county may send one additional instructional leader. Programs with multiple counties must insure that one director or instructional leader from each county attends.
