Now in its third year, Leadership ATPE offers professional development, leadership training, and networking opportunities for education professionals chosen from within ATPE’s membership ranks who have a vested interest in serving their schools and communities.

Through this program, Leadership ATPE cohort members participate in experiences designed to hone the skills needed to serve their schools and communities, pursue leadership roles within ATPE, and advance their careers. The year-long program includes two expense-paid leadership retreats and additional networking opportunities focused on building such skills as public speaking, advocacy, nonprofit leadership, and more.
