WHY APPLY?
LeadingAge New York IGNITE Leadership Academy arose from members’
experience with the national program and the realization that discussion and
learning is also needed at the state level.
“Priceless. A great program that is so beneficial for new
leaders and even experienced leaders to participate – life
long learning!”
“I believe my return on investment from this program
is far greater than the time and effort invested in the
program. The connections, friendships and personal
growth achieved through the direction of our team
leader is immeasurable.”
“This program has been incredibly helpful. It
allows us to reflect on, analyze, and openly
discuss goals, experiences and challenges
as leaders. This program helps foster
ideas among peers. It not only
builds upon our network but
also among our friendships.”
“I feel that the experience was
worth the investment; meeting
other leaders, hearing their stories and
bringing back creative, useful, concrete
concepts that can be used in my everyday
work practices to help balance work and
home life.”
“I think the program was completely worth it. I gained
knowledge and skills that are actually being used after each
session. Sometimes you go to courses and have nothing that
you can use to model new behavior when you go back to
work. These classes are different.”
“Life changing!”
“I appreciated that in each session the facilitators
pushed us to get out of our comfort zones. I
feel I gained more self confidence during the
program because of this. It was a safe,
non-judgemental environment to be
able to learn in.”
What IGNITE
graduates are
saying!
“I found the program very worthwhile. I have little
doubt that there will always be some pieces of the work I
did here present with me everyday of the rest of my career.
The time investment was minor compared to the reward.”
“The program has given
me an opportunity to
take a step back, reflect,
learn, collaborate, and make
real progress at a personal and
professional level.”
“This has been the best leadership-based
program I have been involved with.”
“I have experienced so much growth after every
session. Every meeting has afforded me such an
opportunity to impact my organizations. I am so
empowered to foster positive change.”
