Welcome to the Alamo Community Colleges Leadership Academy for Success (ALAS).  The purpose of ALAS is to assist in developing, enhancing, and preparing effective leaders with the knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the organization. In addition, the Academy will foster employee and student success in support of our mission of becoming the best community college in the nation.

 The ALAS program combines three curriculum elements in a 10-month experience: exploration of current issues facing ACCD; an opportunity to hone leadership competencies; and the opportunity for participants to meet, work closely with, and develop strong ties to colleagues from throughout our system.  Participation in ALAS offers a unique opportunity to learn a great deal about ACCD, leadership, and yourself.

 Eligibility for ALAS is open to full-time faculty and staff who have worked for ACCD for one year, are in good standing, and currently serve in a supervisory capacity or leadership role. 

 Participants are required to attend the 10 program sessions and meet regularly with their mentor. Though these activities will occur during normal work hours additional time may be needed. Please make sure your supervisor is aware of and in agreement with these requirements. 

To apply for ALAS please fill out the application located on the Employee Services web-page and email it to dst-alas@mail.accd.edu before July 15, 2008.
