Convening a community of established and emerging leaders to cultivate core competencies that drive effectiveness and impact.


The ACG Institute and The Center for Leadership, Ethics and Equity support four distinct leadership programs, with each program being tailored to a distinct career stage.

Leadership YOU will provide an opportunity for program participants in all four cohorts to network and engage in shared learning sessions, in addition to cohort specific professional development.
