Best professional development experience I have ever been a part of. I fell in love with my job again.

The depth and breadth of the [Chair Academy’s] Advance Program greatly exceeded my expectations. It was by far the best leadership development program I’ve ever attended.

The... Foundation program provided me with the training and tools to grow as an academic leader. The instructors were truly invested in my immediate leadership growth and development. The skills and knowledge I learned to apply definitely helped me not only become a better leader, but quickly advance my career.

I had a chance to attend the Foundation Program several years ago. While I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the Advance Program, it helped rekindle my interest in being the leader I know I can be.

I have been to workshops and left wondering what I really learned, as if to check off a box for my organization.  The Chair Academy Foundation Academy was not like that. I feel energized and inspired.  I have found my voice and feel better prepared with relevant and practical best practices.

I’ve . . . never had the benefit of any formal leadership training. The Advance Program came along just at the right time to allow me to find and refine my leadership voice . . . I only wish I’d discovered it 10 years ago.

The best leadership program I have experienced in 20 years. I feel empowered and will aspire to the ideals of good leadership practices. This understanding of authentic and transformative leadership makes for better followers.

I have to start by saying that in the past year I feel like I got my life back.  I have had a number of epiphanies, which is good because it makes me feel like I am actually learning and growing. I have very much enjoyed the mentorship portion of this program, as it has been extremely valuable in my professional development.
