Start Training to Become an APO LEADS Presenter
|
|
The
Leadership Development Committee and its training team has adapted the training
program and presenter development into a series of online and live training
sessions. The online courses have
been developed to familiarize potential presenters with the course
material and with presentation styles, and the live courses now focus mainly on
practice and watching the potential presenters go through the material and
determine if they have enough of a comfort level and understanding with the
material to be a full-fledged presenter.
Take the steps to become an APO LEADS presenter. There are various opportunities to complete the requirements prior to the National Convention.
