Academy Partners and Friends

Mesa Community College


The Academy wants to recognize our longest standing partner, and our "home base". The Academy was created at Mesa Community College, through the visionary leadership of Dr. Gary Filan and President Larry Christensen. We have had unprecedented support from the college over the last 30 plus years.

Without the unwavering support of Mesa Community College, we would not have been able to change the lives of the nearly 25,000 Academy graduates, and our Conference attendees.

The Chair Academy has partnered with the Massachusetts Community Colleges Executive Office to offer leadership development programs to faculty and staff. The overall focus of the program is to establish a high quality, cost-effective succession, and leadership development program which utilizes a competencies-based approach, grounded in sound theoretical leadership concepts, principles, and practices. Four basic criteria are incorporated in both the design and delivery of all leadership topic areas: active engagement of participants, meaningful and relevant curriculum content that is useful and applicable to learning in the job setting, and measurable development outcomes.
