Leadership Forum
The 2010 Leadership Forum is a highly interactive weekend that will provide an opportunity to advance your leadership and communication skills while networking with colleagues and Academy leaders. Energetic and informative speakers will cover key leadership competencies identified by the Academy that are critical to dermatology leaders. Topics include setting vision and strategy, communicating effectively, and increasing self-awareness. You also will have the opportunity to take the Myers-Briggs personality assessment and learn how to leverage your personality type to be a stronger leader. If selected, the Academy will cover your travel expenses, accommodations, and provide meals on site for this event. The Leadership Forum will be held Jan. 29-31, 2010 at the InterContinental Montelucia near Phoenix, Ariz.
