Lucas Practicum Focuses on Organizations and Officers Moving into a leadership position in your association? Want to learn more about the role of today’s organizations and officers? AIP will hold the 28th Lucas Practicum in Ontario, California on January 29-31, 2009. Paul Lamb, CPP-T, and Joy Meyer, CPP-T, will lead an outstanding faculty that will provide hands on experience to participants on how to best provide effective leadership within their own organizations. The Lucas Practicum is designed to expand the knowledge base of all attendees. The 2009 practicum is expected to draw a diverse audience with a wide range of experience and knowledge. Each learner not only learns from the assigned faculty but also gains valuable insights from their fellow students who bring their own perspectives to the learning process. All practicum courses combine advanced theory with practical application through small group exercises and seminar assignments. Participants receive useful leadership tools that they will be able to immediately put to use back home. If you want to enhance your organizational leadership skills then this is an event you will not want to miss.
