Cross Generations - A Full Range Leadership Development Program

Beginning October 1, 1993, Cross Generations - A Full Range Leadership Development Program was funded by the U.S. Department of Education Dwight D. Eisenhower Leadership Development Program for $298,552 for a two-year program. The training and research program links 90 undergraduate students from Binghamton University and Broome Community College with 12 senior executives from both profit and not-for-profit organizations.

The main purpose of the program was to develop more effective leaders and team members at the college-age level (emerging leaders) with the help of experienced senior executives (established leaders).

Kellogg Leadership Program: Transformational Leadership Development Program

In 1990 and 1993, the Center for Leadership Studies was awarded $826,764 and $129,378 respectively, from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, for a three-year leadership program. The program trained over 500 people from all sectors in the Southern Tier region of New York State on how to be more effective in their leadership roles in the community.

The evaluation project goal of training leaders to be more transformational was achieved. The program training had an impact at the individual, group, organization and community levels.
