Embracing Leadership is designed by the American Psychology Law Society (APA Division 41) to provide practical training in leadership and with leadership opportunities. The goals of the program are:
- Provide training for interested members in a variety of leadership skills that could benefit their careers broadly
- Cultivate interest in leadership within the Division
- Provide leadership opportunities within the Division
- Prepare our members to take on leadership challenges
Embracing Leadership will have four activities that will take place over one year, beginning in March of 2026. These activities include:
- A workshop on leadership on the Wednesday prior to the AP-LS conference
- Webinars on leadership topics that will occur bimonthly (once every other month), on the first Monday of the month (that is not a holiday) at 9AM west coast time
- Connecting participants to a mentor already in leadership in the Division
- Providing opportunities for leadership within the Division by completing an initiative with AP-LS leadership
