"The ALDP was a wonderful opportunity to develop in several professional areas. It facilitated introspection on my own personal leadership style, strengths and weaknesses. The program also helped me build a larger network of colleagues, not only from my own campus but from the entire 4 campus UM system."

The Administrative Leadership Development Program (ALDP) provides professional development opportunities to a small group of selected leaders from across the University of Missouri System. The University of Missouri seeks applications from administrators within the University of Missouri each fall for a spring cohort. We strive to select a diverse group of leaders that includes a wide range of experience and expertise. Potential participants should:
- demonstrate performance as an administrative leader;
- provide leadership to units with a significant impact on services and resources of the university;
- have potential for advancement to other leadership roles;
- demonstrate interest in personal and professional development;
- have the ability to attend all sessions and activities of the program;
- have the active support of his/her supervisor(s) and unit; and
- be willing to serve as a "peer coach" to others in the program.
