During the conference, class members will participate in customized Leadership APTA workshop sessions, and class members will be encouraged to take full advantage of TRANSform conference sessions.
- Additional Benefits: One of the goals of Leadership APTA is to develop future leaders of APTA. The Leadership APTA program requires that each sponsoring organization actively support at least one additional year of APTA involvement from its Leadership APTA participant immediately upon graduation through engagement on APTA committees, task forces, or special projects.
Important note: If you are selected to participate in the Leadership APTA program and you change jobs during the program year, your new employer must be an APTA member and complete a program commitment form provided by APTA for your continued participation in the program. You and your organization will be responsible to address any questions between your new and former employer surrounding your program tuition payment.
