Forum Academy Alumni

A Valuable Leadership Network

The Western Academic Leadership Forum (Forum) established the Western Academic Leadership Academy (Academy) to provide a unique professional development opportunity for talented individuals at member institutions interested in advancing to the chief academic leadership level. They also wanted to ensure that there would be a trained pool of individuals in the pipeline from which to draw candidates for temporary and permanent positions at member institutions, systems, and state agencies.
