Only 2 seat remain for this year's URISA Leadership Academy (ULA). The ULA is being held in Chicago this year on Aug 1-5. The success of any GIS program is largely tied to the capabilities of its leader. Strong leadership is necessary to establish a solid GIS program, operate efficiently and effectively, coordinate participants, adapt to change, and move a program forward. Leadership, however, is a skill that must be developed. The URISA Leadership Academy was established to meet this need. Participants will learn: * GIS leadership and management techniques * Strategic planning * Successful team development * Organizational capacity building and sustainability strategies (ROI, innovative funding ideas) * Program investment and justification * Change management * Situation assessment and organizational performance evaluation * Ethics and professional challenges * Problem solving This is a great program. I wish I had an opportunity to attend such a program when I first moved into leadership roles. For more information about the ULA go to - http://www.urisa.org/education-events/urisa-leadership-academy/. If you can't make it this year, make sure to include it in your budget for next year. URISA is hoping to offer 2 ULAs next year. One on the west coast and one on the east.
