Applications for the Leadership Development Academy Cohort 17 will be available on October 28, 2024. All applications and sponsor endorsements are due by 5:00 pm on Friday, February 28, 2025. There is no guarantee that late applications will be considered.
NOTE: When your application or sponsor endorsement is successfully submitted, you will immediately see a confirmation screen, and you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not see the confirmation screen, your application or endorsement did not go through. If this happens to you, please contact us to let us know what browser you are using. We recommend saving your work outside of the application just in case resubmission is required. You can also try resubmitting using Chrome or Firefox as your browser. Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in the CalHHS Leadership Development Academy (LDA). Applications will be reviewed for experience, demonstrated leadership potential, understanding of the CalHHS core competencies, and your department’s present and future issues and pressures, and how you as a leader, have and will address these challenges. Please review all of the materials for the LDA before you apply. You must complete the application in one sitting, and you cannot save it and return to it later. You can copy and paste from Word or other programs into the application (essay question answers, resume, etc.). Once you have submitted your application, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a summary of your responses.

A complete application consists of two parts: the online application AND a sponsor’s endorsement. It is the APPLICANT'S responsibility to ensure that his/her sponsor completes the endorsement by the due date of 5:00 pm on Friday, February 28, 2025. Failure to have both parts submitted by the due date will result in the application being considered incomplete. Incomplete or late applications may not be reviewed by the LDA Advisory Committee for this cohort.
Note to sponsors: You must complete the endorsement in one sitting, and you cannot save it and return to it later. You can copy and paste from Word or other programs into the endorsement. Once you have submitted the endorsement, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a summary of your responses. You may submit your endorsement before your participant completes his/her application.
