Leadership America is Accepting Applications for 2019 Program

DALLAS - Nov. 5, 2018 - PRLog -- Leadership America, the national program of Leadership Women, is currently accepting applications for its 2019 program.  As the longest-running women's leadership program in the US, the program offers women leaders the opportunity to expand their understanding and influence on the issues surrounding the nation and the globe.

In 2019, Leadership America will continue its legacy of informing and inspiring women leaders as it enters its 32^nd consecutive year.  Throughout the year-long program, participants will have the opportunity to broaden their perspective and enhance their recognized leadership skills as the program visits three of our nation's most vibrant cities - Washington DC in April, Seattle in June, and Atlanta in September.  "Each city's agenda will feature national thought leaders, noted decision-makers and future-forward thinkers who will provide our participants cutting-edge information to inform their professional and community leadership for years to come," said Martha P. Farmer, Founding and Executive Director of Leadership America.

In addition, the women of Leadership America 2019 will have forums for essential networking and conversations to explore ways in which to bring about deep systemic change with the goal of achieving economic and gender parity in the corporate, financial, political and non-profit arenas.

"Successful leaders strive to change and better the world around them. Leadership Women understands that we must work together to collectively face the challenges around us, building a collaborative and challenging community to guide us," adds Linda Crompton, President and CEO of Leadership Women.  This is why  Leadership Women has been at the forefront for more than 40 years,  helping women and their organizations to develop intentional and well informed leaders.

The Leadership America program is based on a competitive application process, with diversity based not only on racial and socio-economic factors, but also diversity of thought, geography and profession.  Additional information on the program and the application process can be found at https://leadership-women.org/programs/america
