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 around 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 in order 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 course work.

This project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee, Department of Finance and Administration, Office of Criminal Justice Programs.
