The ASNC Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a three-year mentorship program developed to prepare future leaders of the society and the field of nuclear cardiology.
ASNC LDP participants are paired with an ASNC mentor who will provide guidance throughout the program and in their early careers. Participants join in a series of live webinars focused on advocacy, guideline development, and education in support of ASNC's mission. Participants are also exposed to training in areas such as cultivating important leadership skills; working effectively with a mentor; interacting and working with leaders of other organizations; how to engage with Congressional staff and other topics of value to nascent leaders. Program participants have numerous opportunities to network with ASNC leaders and each other during the program and are invited to participate in a variety of special projects to enhance skills and visibility in the field. Finally, LDP participants are appointed to one-year committee terms in each of their first two years, and a full three-year term in their final year.
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."
