Leadership Development Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW | APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
ASNC LDP participants will be paired with an ASNC mentor and leader who will provide guidance through the program and in their early career. Participants join in a series of live webinars focused on the areas of advocacy, guideline development, and education in support of ASNC's mission. LDP participants also receive training in how to cultivate important leadership skills such as effective presentation tactics, strategic planning, consensus building, and media training. Finally, LDP participants will be appointed to a position of leadership on an ASNC educational program, committee or other major ASNC activity to hone their skills.
Selection to the Leadership Development Program (LDP) is by a competitive application and open to all U.S. and international ASNC members who meet the requirements.
Questions about the LDP may be addressed to ASNC staff, Dawn Edgerton, dedgerton@asnc.org.

"Being a participant in the program has allowed me to become involved with the society on a new level and afforded me the opportunity to join multiple committees, which will provide me with the experience to one day become a leader and carry on the mission of ASNC and support the role of nuclear cardiology in the medical field."
