Program Center Stage: Building Leadership Capacity- Insights from UNH Leadership Development Cohort
August 26th, 2024 2:00 - 300 PM ET  

Join University of New Hampshire (UNH) Cooperative Extension to learn about their Leadership Development Cohort initiative, an internal professional development effort designed to build the leadership capacity of participating staff members. The cohort
was open to all UNH Extension staff statewide and focused on peer-to-peer learning, leadership skills development, personal reflection and goal setting, and cultivating leadership within people’s roles.

In this session, learn about how the Leadership Development Cohort was conceived, planned and implemented, how it fit within the broader context of leadership development and professional development initiatives, and how the program was evaluated. During
the session, you will have an opportunity to participate in a short activity mirroring
an experience of the Cohort, and to discuss how other institutions could explore implementing a similar program. The presenters hope to inspire you to think creatively about how to build the leadership capacity of Extension staff.

Hosted by:
