Because of the generous sponsorship of United Imaging, approved candidates will be able to register at a discounted registration fee of $499 USD. Registration fees cover all online activities, community access, and travel/hotel to the fall in-person meeting (tentatively scheduled for mid-November).
How It Works
The program kicks off in September and culminates at the Annual Meeting with a Capstone project presentation that includes a combination of live sessions (virtual and in-person), on-demand recordings, articles, and online community activities. Participants also receive one-on-one coaching with the program facilitator, and opportunities to participate in volunteering and authorship opportunities.
Program features include:
- Actionable, hands-on learning tailored to your specific goals
- Peer-to-peer learning and networking with like-minded leaders
- Fostered collaboration and small group, one-to-one instruction
- Confidential, ongoing access to the instructor and other experienced leaders for the program's duration
- A way to distinguish and differentiate yourself as a "leader of choice"
All program candidates will receive a confidential survey before the program kick-off to provide perceived strengths and weaknesses, and to identify developmental goals for the program. Upon graduation, candidates will receive a certificate of completion and may earn up to 15 ARRT category A continuing education credits.
