Check out the 2022 Leadership Institute Experience!

Read what members of the 2020 Leaderhship Institute cohort had to say about their experience!

"My Institute experience gave me confidence and empowered me. I now have the tools to make my professional challenges work for me rather than against me."

"I feel more confident in knowing what makes me my best self and am also leading my team to have opportunities to be their best selves."

"The Leadership experience gave me the power to think bigger about my working relationships and be less affected by pettiness."

"I can better diagnose strengths and weaknesses in my organization, understand the phases of where we are and identify areas that need to be addressed. I feel better equipped to make positive changes."

"I loved the instructors and they fit perfectly together. They introduced a culture of positivity and lifting each other up. That's not an across-the-board standard."



SEMC is grateful for the support of our generous sponsors and partners of the Leadership Institute
