Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP, PDI Program
Director invites you to enrich your career through this fellowship
program:
“Leading from the Middle helps mid-level professionals in landscape
architecture, urban planning and community development better manage
conflict, lead teams, and promote issues and agendas. Fellows learn to
identify their abilities to lead; analyze power dynamics in groups and
organizations; communicate effectively; build strategic partnerships;
and balance planning, action and evaluation. What makes Leading from the
Middle different -- and superior to -- other leadership programs? It is
the only leadership development program developed by and for mid-career
and midlevel professionals in urban planning and community development.
We know, because we've been there.
Leading from the Middle is designed to help participants face the
distinct challenges of doing planning, design, policy or community
development in diverse and dynamic conditions. It offers you more for a
fraction of the cost of other programs.
The knowledge and tools the Leading from the Middle program offers work
for any professional in any organization, and for organizations of every
budget size. We promote our program to mid-career and midlevel planning,
policy, community development professionals --and now landscape
architects-- because that is where we believe the we can best assist the
future leaders in these disciplines.”
