(Black PR Wire) For the first time, NAMIC's Executive Leadership Development Program (ELDP) will be held virtually. The year-round program, presented in partnership with the University of Virginia (UVA) Darden School of Business, prepares middle and upper-middle level executives of color for career advancement into senior ranks of the cable and communications industry. Companies throughout the industry have announced plans to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within their ranks, and this program gives them the tools to do so.

Dates:

Module 1: Oct. 12, 2020 - Oct. 16, 2020

Module 2: Dec. 8, 2020 - Dec. 11, 2020

Module 3: Feb. 16, 2021 - Feb. 19, 2021

Module 4: May 3, 2021 - May 7, 2021

With the continued uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, the first two modules will be held virtually, with the aim of holding classes in person in 2021 at either the UVA campus in Charlottesville or the Darden Executive Education Center in Rosslyn, Virginia.

To be eligible, applicants must be persons of color at the director level (minimum of two years at that level) or above. The fee includes one to one executive coaching, course materials and some meals.
