SOUTHEASTERN LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (SELA)
Interactive instruction from top law enforcement personnel is just part of the five-week Southeastern Leadership Academy, formerly the Southeastern Command and Leadership Academy. Each week will focus on themed lessons: Foundations of Leadership/Leading Others, Leadership Skills, Building External Relationships, Employee/Internal Matters, and Critical Issues. The academy, which is targeted toward middle management, will challenge participants to develop their leadership styles to become more effective and progressive leaders.
The SELA program is limited to mid-management personnel. All candidates are closely screened and must be prepared to complete university-level coursework.
This project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee, Department of Finance and Administration, Office of Criminal Justice Programs, and is supported by Award # 2020-MU-BX-0051 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, USDOJ.
