Colleagues -



I am thrilled to announce that Dr. Rodric (Rod) Smith will be joining our team as our new Director of Leadership Development, effective September 1. Rod is a United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy.



Rod possesses a rich collection of professional experiences, most recently as Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership, where he developed assessments, curriculum, objectives, lesson plans, faculty training, integration across mission elements, and analysis of leadership development for 25 faculty and 4,000 cadets in a U.S. Air Force Academy multi-year core leadership class. He has received multiple awards and recognition for his work.



Rod earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego as well as a Master of Arts in Adult Education from the University of Central Michigan.



In this role, he will lead the redesign of our leadership development program with a specific focus on building pathways for advancement within the college system using a cohort model. This position will be responsible for designing curriculum with an emphasis on equity, transformational leadership, and financial management skills. We will have a Leadership Development Advisory Committee composed of presidents, vice presidents, trustees, diversity officers, and others to help guide the work.



Please join me in welcoming Rod to Washington and the SBCTC. Have a nice weekend.



Paul
