Each IGNITE Leadership Academy graduate is tasked to take
what they learned in the program then develop and implement
an Action Learning Project. This is a learning-by-doing
approach which encourages people to work together to solve
a problem or improve performance. The project is a way for
our leaders to learn how to facilitate the group process, and
inspire and motivate others. It also provides an opportunity for
the graduates to give back to their organizations. Click here to
see the fantastic ideas that the 2016-17 IGNITE class is putting
into action for the benefit of their organizations and the people
they serve.
