LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. They do not set out to leaders, but become one by the quality of their actions and of the integrity of their intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles...they don't flock, you find them one at a time."

One of the first Associations across the nation to have such a program, PPAR offers a leading-edge structured leadership program for members to understand how the Association works and to encourage your future participation at a leadership level. The program provides in-depth sessions about PPAR to enhance your understanding of how the Association operates and to help you succeed in the real estate industry.

The Leadership Development Program has required and optional sessions. The program is spread out over five months.

Kickoff Reception - Your opportunity to learn exactly what the program is all about and what is expected should you commit to the program. You will sign a Letter of Commitment.

HOW DO I GET INTO THE PROGRAM?

Members in the Leadership Development Program are usually nominated by a PPAR Director, although those who show interest in the program may participate as well. Nominated members have shown qualities of leadership and a willingness to take it a step forward to improve themselves and their Association, applying the benefits from the sessions they have attended. A majority of those who serve on the Board of Directors are graduates of the Leadership Program.
