Future Leaders Institute 

The 2011 Future Leaders Institute was held November 4 -6 in Baltimore, Maryland.  Twenty-five AIHA members who have less than 15 years of professional experience were selected to participate in FLI. 

•   Introducing the 2011 FLI Class

FLI focused on four main areas:

• Broadening Interpersonal Perspectives: Increasing your understanding of your strengths and how to leverage them, as well as how to interact with and engage the different personalities and work styles of others. In addition, we will examine best practices of effective managers and leaders
• Broadening Organizational Perspectives: Enhancing your understanding of (1) how strategic decisions are made by your employer; (2) how to position industrial hygiene and safety issues relative to your organization’s key business priorities; and (3) how to increase your scope of influence and better position your contributions.
• Collaborative/Teamwork Efforts: Examining the key components of successful teams and collaborative efforts and the specific actions leaders must perform to make them effective. Learning how to more effectively manage conflicts and differences of perspectives.
• Managing Your Future: Exploring your personal and professional aspirations and the possible career pathways that will support them, how to advance within your organization and the profession, and how to build an effective network of mentors and peers.

 AIHA would like to thank The Academy of Industrial Hygiene, and past FLI graduates that  worked together to sponsor this year’s Institute.
