Training Our Next Generation of Leaders

 

Recognizing the importance of training tomorrow’s industry leader, OPRA offers Advance Leadership Training.

As our industry leaders mature, the intellectual and developmental disabilities service system will soon be faced with a shortage of quality, experienced executives. OPRA hopes to ensure the system develops the next generation of knowledgeable, disciplined thinkers to move into leadership positions in provider agencies. This program is meant for employees in your agency identified as having the potential to be outstanding administrative leaders now and into the future.
