The Leadership Institute at Purdue Northwest has opened applications for the 2024-2025 Leadership Northwest Indiana program.
The leadership program is led by PNW College of Business faculty members and leadership practitioners. The Leadership Institute recruits leaders from various sectors of the business community in Northwest Indiana and the Chicago area. The team provides leadership content and skill building to foster effective leadership in the workplace and in life.
“Anyone with a passion for development and growth should consider the LNI program,” said Jane Thomas, Leadership Institute academic director and PNW associate professor of human resource management and organizational behavior, in a press release. “We want all participants to understand the impact that they can have when they intentionally and purposefully work on their leadership.”
Participants meet once a month for eight months. They learn from the real-world challenges other participants bring to the discussions. They also receive custom coaching.
“One of the most beneficial components of the LNI program is engaging the varying levels of professionals in the program,” said Orlando Drummond, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Northwest Indiana program quality director. “Having diverse perspectives on topics and situations from different domains provides participants with comprehensive leadership understanding, challenges and engagement opportunities to best position us to handle our unique situations beyond the program.”
Applications are open for the 2024-25 Leadership Northwest Indiana program. The program runs from September 2024 through May 2025. The program is being offered on PNW’s Westville and Hammond campuses. Learn more about the Leadership Northwest Indiana program here.
