LEAD21 TeamTwelve employees in the College of Agriculture & Human Sciences (CAHS) representing Academics, CARC and CEP and who are alumni of leadership development programs convened to discuss next steps for continuous leadership growth and development. The participants graduated from one of three Leadership Development Programs: LEAD21, Leadership PVAMU, and the TexasAgriLife Extension Advance Leadership Program. Gail Long, a graduate of the LEAD21 Leadership Program stated, “The LEAD21 experience was both enlightening and invaluable, resulting in improved leadership development and growth, both personally and professionally. However, we must continue to hone these skills to remain productive, viable leaders in the College of Agriculture & Human Sciences at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) and in and our communities.”

The leadership seminars will be held quarterly with topic areas including communicating effectively; leading with integrity and values; managing conflict; building collaborative relationships; leading change; valuing diversity and developing self and others.
