How to Apply to The LEADERship Program

By following these simple instructions, your application process will go smoothly. Please be assured that all applications are subject to confidential evaluation. Applications from candidates who are not selected to participate in the upcoming program will be retained by the committee for consideration for later participation, if they choose.

There are two forms to complete.

APPLICATION FORM

Apply Online
Click on the Apply Online link above. This form will allow you to complete an online application. Once you have completed the application, verify that the information you have entered is correct and submit your application using the Submit Application button located in Step 13. You may view a printable version of the form only after your electronic submission to the LEADERship. All information transmitted using the Online Application is completely secure and is treated confidentially. Submitting online alone does not complete the process. Mail one copy of your application along with your Nomination form. Also, please email a digital passport size, face shot, photo (high resolution, no larger than 300 dpi, jpeg) to triciae@gbc.org.

NOMINATION FORM

Please accompany your application with the formal nomination form. (If you are the senior ranking person in your company, you need not fill out a nomination form. The nomination form is our way of assuring your company will provide the work release time and fulfill the tuition requirements.) You may access the Nomination Form by clicking here. Continue as per instructions in paragraph 1 above.

TUITION

Tuition for the 2011 program is $6,900 and is billed to applicants or their sponsoring organizations upon acceptance in the program. Partial scholarships are available to applicants/sponsoring organizations with financial need (see page 3 of application.) A request for scholarship funds will neither positively nor negatively impact your eligibility in the program. The GBC Leadership is committed to not letting tuition serve as an obstacle for appropriate candidates to participate in the program.

ATTENDANCE

The LEADERship meets one full day per month from January through November (excluding August), plus two weekend retreats and a variety of luncheons, optional evening events, and other activities. A comprehensive schedule will be provided to applicants during their initial interview session.

Listed above are the full day sessions. An * indicates a mandatory session with no late arrivals or early dismissals. In addition there will be a number of other partial day experiences.
