Cohort #3 of the 4 Corners Latinx Leadership Academy, 2022-23
The 4 Corners Latinx Leadership Academy is a unique year long 8 session leadership seminar series plus a graduation event (a total of 5 event dates), bringing together the leadership expertise from four ALAS regional affiliates--AZALAS (Arizona), CO-ALAS (Colorado), ALAS de Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico), and ALAS-U (Utah). Recognizing the disproportional representation of Latinx leaders at the executive level, the Academy seeks to develop Latinx leaders who aspire to move into executive district/organizational leadership, e.g., executive directors, assistant superintendents, chief officers, and others.
