In 2011, the Post started an annual Young Professional (YP) mentoring program which is now open to all Post members.To date over 120 members have graduated from the program. The Leadership Lab is aimed at both up-and-coming leaders and established operational leaders in government and industry that would benefit from the discussion, sharing of thoughts and experiences, and readings in leadership and related topics.
The Leadership Lab’s goals are:
- Provide students the chance to push individual comfort limits to develop their own style of leadership
- Offer a broad understanding of leadership theories and the practical application of those concepts
- Afford the opportunity to listen and learn from leadership speakers on their leadership experiences
- Provide students an enriching experience that met their desire for professional and personal growth
The program includes:
- 10 – 12 students
- Broken up into Accountability Pairs
- Bi-weekly meetings for about 8 months
- Review of 2-3 leadership books
- Group facilitated discussion on assigned reading
- DiSC Profiles
- Speaker Series (Military, Civic, Business Leaders)
- Team Building Experience
- Volunteering/Service Projects (Community Service, SAME Event)
- Mentor-Protégé Program
- Professional Development Plan
