The 2025 ODTUG Leadership Program Application Opens Nov.1, 2024

In an effort to enhance the leadership skills of its members, ODTUG is pleased to announce its sixth annual ODTUG Leadership Program. This seven-month program will cover topics such as leadership styles, effective communication, mentoring, team building, goal setting, and accountability.

The submitted applications will be evaluated, and a small group will be chosen for the class based on the application as well as follow-up interviews. There is no application fee for the Leadership Program – it costs nothing to apply. However, if you are accepted into the program, you must then become a full, dues-paying ODTUG member.

All meetings of the Leadership Committee will be virtual. The onboarding session of the Leadership Program will be in early January. This session is mandatory. After the January onboarding session, we will meet monthly (weekday and time TBD), with graduates announced at Kscope25. To graduate from the program, you can miss no more than two sessions.

By submitting this application, you are indicating that you will devote the time and resources necessary to complete the program. Even though emergencies do arise, any participant missing more than two of the remaining seven sessions, for whatever reason, may be asked to withdraw from the program.

Who Should Apply

Persons who wish to advance into leadership positions along their career track, persons who have been recently promoted and wish to improve their effectiveness in their current position, persons looking to switch careers or transition to technical management opportunities – all of these should consider the ODTUG Leadership program.

Who Should Not Apply

Seasoned technical managers, graduates of corporate leadership programs and veteran team leaders need not apply – you already have the skills we aim to impart in our Leadership Program participants.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY NOVEMBER 29, 2024, AT 11:59 PM EST.

THE LEADERSHIP TEAM WILL CONTACT APPLICANTS BY DECEMBER 27, 2024.  

If you would like to apply for this year's ODTUG Leadership Program, please complete the application form before the November 29 deadline. Thank you for your interest!

Please note: You may not submit any written work generated by an AI program as your own.
