Colleagues
I hope you will share the item below with your network of people.
Those of you who know me well (or even just a little for a few of you), know what a skeptic I can be. In this case I do think this set of experiences has the potential to be a pretty profound learning experience for those who participate. And in this case, I'm saying this with great humility since I am part of the planning/delivery group of the Academy.
By all means, if you have questions I would encourage you to contact the Greenleaf Center or visit the web address that is at the bottom of this announcement.
Be well...... /jeff

Greenleaf Center Establishes the Greenleaf Academy
The Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership is pleased to announce the establishment of the Greenleaf Academy of Servant Leadership, which will provide a variety of programs during the coming years to help individuals understand and apply the principles of servant leadership in their lives and work.
Certificate Program Begins at 2009 Conference
The first program of the Greenleaf Academy is the Certificate Program. It consists of three courses that will be conducted during the coming year by Greenleaf Academy faculty through teleconferences, e-mail, and webcasts. The first course begins with attendance at the Greenleaf Center's 19th Annual International Conference this June 10- 13 in Milwaukee.
The three Certificate Program courses are:
The Foundations of Servant Leadership. This course will be conducted from June through October 2009. Participants must attend a preconference workshop and the Greenleaf Center conference, June 10-13, 2009 in Milwaukee; take a distance-learning course that focuses on the works of Robert Greenleaf and others who have written about servant leadership; and write a paper. The tuition is $1,750, which includes the registration fee for "The Total Package" at the Greenleaf Center's Annual International Conference in June. The cost of travel, hotel, or books is not included.
Applying the Key Practices of Servant Leadership. This course will be conducted from November 2009 through February 2010. Participants will take a distance-learning course on listening and developing colleagues, and write a paper. Participants must also undertake a hands-on project, and attend a Greenleaf Center retreat. The tuition is $1,750, including the registration fee for a Greenleaf Center retreat. The cost of travel, hotel, or books is not included.
Leading Servant-Institutions. This course will be conducted from March through June 2010. Participants will take a distance-learning course on the characteristics of servant- institutions and the skills needed to lead a servant institution. Participants will undertake a hands-on project, and present a paper at the Greenleaf Center's Annual International Conference in June 2010 during a workshop that will feature Greenleaf Academy participants. The tuition is $1,750, including the registration fee for "The Total Package" at the Greenleaf Conference in 2010. The cost of travel, hotel, or books is not included.
Participants who sign up and pay for all three courses in advance will receive a discounted tuition of $4,500 - a savings of $750.
Certificate of Completion
Each participant who completes a certificate program will receive a Certificate of Completion. The certificate will be mailed to the participant, or presented to the participant at the Greenleaf Center's annual conference.
Greenleaf Academy Faculty
The Greenleaf Academy faculty for the Certificate Program will be Dr. Don Frick (Foundations of Servant Leadership); Dr. Jeff Miller (Applying the Key Practices of Servant-Leaders); and Jerry Glashagel (Leading Servant-Institutions). Servant-leaders from a variety of organizations will serve as adjunct faculty, joining the teleconferences during each course.
