Europe United Leadership Academy

By Ivan Bavcevic, Board Chairman. In line with our party vision, goals, and commitment to progress, the Federal Board has decided to establish the Europe United Leadership Academy, which will be dedicated to develop and inspire leaders able to carry the enormous tasks we set forth in uniting this continent. Those leaders are to be knowledgeable and skilled enough to be the examples others will follow and look into.

Naturally, not everyone will want to get exposed, but this Academy may help you in your personal and career development as well, which we see as a great benefit of your membership in this party.

The Leadership Academy starts with two distinctive programs: the Continuing Education Program and the Management Skills Training Program.

The Continuing Education program is about to start under the direction of Senator Josep Ortega. It is intended to provide a selection of documents of the greatest significance to the party's aims and policies, that we all can read and discuss at our convenience to help us develop an informed opinion on many different and complex issues that is needed for the party to become a significant presence in European policy making.

The program is hosted at the new Europe United's wiki site that you can visit at http://eunited.editme.com/, and will commence on September 1, with Belgium Prime Minister's Guy Verhofstadt most cogent manifesto for 'The United States of Europe'. You will find this short book in Dutch, English, French and German versions. We intend to give continuing education credits for reading the texts in the program.

We will keep adding new readings on an ongoing, monthly basis. We will try to send a message each time a new document is added, but please check what is new at the wiki from time to time.

The Management SkillsTraining Program will start shortly under the direction of Senator Olga Baykalova. This program will focus on providing Internet-based and live workshops and seminars in team work, communications, leadership, problem solving, creativity, planning & organizing, strategic development, time management and other important management skills necessary for good functioning of the party and daily operations.

We hope you find these good news and look forward to your participation and collaboration.

Best regards,

Ivan Bavcevic
Board Chairman
