Leadership Institute

Advanced Learning Opportunities

NCMPR is committed to elevating the profession by building strong leaders in the areas of marketing, public relations, enrollment management and institutional advancement. As such, NCMPR has developed a Leadership Institute, a 10-month program focusing exclusively on developing leadership skills for communication professionals needed to advance and succeed as a key member of their colleges’ administrative leadership teams.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM

Two live sessions:

• One-and-a-half-day summer workshop focusing on leadership styles and possible StrengthsFinder assessment results
• Final in-person session, presentations, possible keynotes, and final takeaways. This happens pre-national conference with graduation recognition at the national conference. 

Online components may include:

• Monthly online instruction via Zoom.
• Distance learning via two to three webinars.
• Online discussion groups and/or one-on-one mentoring sessions.

A final project/presentation is also part of the program and may address reflections on a personal leadership journey, a relevant challenge in professional marketing career, and/or addressing a challenge that will benefit the institution. 

More information on the 2025-2026 Leadership Institute program will be announced in the spring.  

NCMPR is currently inviting proposals from qualified facilitators to design and deliver a new Leadership Institute program aimed at enhancing leadership skills tailored for professionals at two-year community and technical colleges.
