<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">It is my pleasure to announce today that the CTCLDA is officially opening applications for The Leadership Academy. Members of the CTCLDA Board reviewed the Leading from the Middle program that was
offered in the past and developed the Leadership Academy. The program has been created to assist in the development of leadership theories and practice within the Washington CTC system. The design includes presentations and interactive group sessions lead
by members of the CTC system. The program will explore the fundamentals of leadership and its challenges while having a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion on a personal, organizational, and system levels.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The Leadership Academy will take place over 3 days once a quarter. These workshops will be the day before the CTCLDA Conferences so that participants can attend the conferences as well to continue
