Emerging Leaders Institute

The Emerging Leaders Institute is an innovative program that was designed by MAEOPP leaders who recognized the need to strengthen MAEOPP by developing potential leaders from within the Association. Initiated in 1989 by Dr. Celerstine Johnson, the program’s purpose was to identify and prepare MAEOPP members to assume leadership positions at the chapter and regional levels, to help those individuals grow personally and professionally, and to strengthen the Association.

The Emerging Leaders Institute is a year long leadership development program that is designed to inspire and cultivate strong leadership within the association.  The program's design combine professional development, networking opportunities, and hands-on experiences that prepare participants for greater involvement in MAEOPP and their respective chapters.
