ACU is pleased to invite you to an information session to learn about the ACU Emerging Leaders and Managers Program (eLAMP). This program is designed for new and aspiring tertiary education managers to develop their skills, knowledge and capacities to lead and manage effectively in the rapidly changing tertiary education environment.

eLAMP is suitable for:

• Professional staff at HEW levels 6, 7, 8 or equivalent and those who are new to management and/or higher education
• Academic staff at levels B and C or equivalent and academics that are new to management and/or higher education

Whilst ACU has been running internal eLAMP programs using the online modules for several years, this sponsored and guided program run by the LH Martin Institute is different. To find out more, staff are invited to attend an information session (1.5 hours) presented by Dr Heather Davis, Program Director Awards, LH Martin Institute. Dr Davis will provide an overview of the eLAMP and be available to answer questions. Consult the table below for session details and use the code ELAMP2016 to register for this video conference via Staff Connect.
