Leadership Lyceum
Developing current & future leaders of the SAAA!
The Leadership Lyceum Program helps SAAA identify and develop a well-informed and highly motivated group of emerging multifamily housing leaders – people with a broad-based vision for, and strong commitment to the mission and strategic objectives of the Association. The candidates are selected annually by the Leadership Lyceum Task Force.
The SAAA Leadership Lyceum invites owners/manager applicants from member companies to submit applications for individuals in their company who exhibit leadership qualities and who are interested in becoming part of SAAA’s current and future leadership. Only one applicant per owner/manager Company will be admitted at a time. There is a maximum of five owner/manager individuals chosen for each annual program. One Product and Service member is also eligible to join the class
The program is conducted annually over three days, with each session targeting an in-depth look at the structure, programs and future of SAAA. There is no cost involved with the program. Course sessions include: Association Management, Legislative Involvement, Media and PR Relations, Community Participation and Professional Development.
The Lyceum Program will rely heavily on the input and participation of current and past SAAA leaders. Outside experts will be included, such as marketing specialists, elected officials, and community leaders.
The SAAA Board of Directors encourages our owner/manager members to review their organization and identify company personnel who are potential leaders for our association and who have a genuine interest in pursuing an association leadership role.
