Senior Partner Program Announced
Veteran principals of The
Principals Partnership received a welcomed surprise at
the Summer Institute in San Antonio when Union Pacific
announced it is creating a Senior Partners Program for
graduates of the first three years’ core program.
“In keeping with our recognition
of the essential leadership role principals provide in
today’s high schools, we want to continue to offer
them the very best in professional development,” said
Bob Turner, president, Union Pacific Foundation. “Thus,
we are extending the life of The Partnership for those
principals who have completed three years.”
Any principal who has been involved
in The Partnership for three years is eligible to join
the voluntary Senior Partners Program, and will receive
many of the same professional development benefits plus
can choose to become involved in new leadership activities
in The Partnership. Senior Partners will receive:
• Regional professional
events
•A personal consulting team
•Research assistance
•Networking
•Professional recognition
•An invitation to attend the Summer Institute every other
year.
Additionally,
Senior Partners will be able to participate, if they choose,
in an Executive Resource Bank to provide assistance to
those in the regular Principals Partnership.
“We are enthusiastic about
inviting the 131 graduates of the first three years into
the Senior Partners,” said Jim Hoffmann, executive
director, Principals Partnership. “While we have
outlined a structure for the program, we will continue
to focus on providing a program for principals that has
been designed by principals. Thus, we’ll seek input
from Senior Partners this fall as to how we can best continue
to meet their professional development needs.”
