Leadership Development at 2008 ACS Regional Meetings
This season, ACS is offering courses from our new ACS Leadership Development System during the fall regional meetings at no charge. Costs are being paid for through a grant from the Local Section Activities Committee to the hosting local section. These courses build critical leadership skills that will develop you in your role as an ACS volunteer and aid in the advancement of your professional career.
Take advantage of this limited opportunity by registering for one of the following Regional Meetings and signing up for one of the courses being offered. Once you have registered for the meeting, reserve your seat by logging into www.acs.org/professionaldevelopment.
Cancellation must be communicated to leaders@acs.org before the first day of the regional meeting.
