| Notes |
Designed to help participants develop a variety of leadership skills, including vision, judgment, persuasiveness, and ability to communicate effectively, the program's curriculum will incorporate scholarship from a range of academic institutions, including the four universities — Southern Methodist, Texas A&M, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas — affiliated with the former presidents' presidential centers; leadership examples taken from the private, public, nonprofit, and military sectors; and guest speakers from a number of presidential administrations. The six-month program — which will begin with an intensive four-day event at historic Mount Vernon, followed by extended weekend sessions at each of the participating presidential centers — will draw from the presidential centers' archives and other resources related to leadership and key decisions in each administration. |
