Today’s insurance professionals are faced with increasingly dynamic and complex environments. To maintain a competitive advantage and ensure your agency’s survival, it's critical that you continue enhancing your management and leadership skills. IIAT and the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management have collaborated to create a program specifically geared toward your unique needs – the IIAT Leadership Academy. This program will accelerate leadership development and help current and future agency leaders master whatever challenges their agencies face. You will emerge from this intensive learning experience with a fresh perspective on leadership, strategic business management, and your role in shaping your agency’s future.

Academy courses will be taught by leading practitioners and highly regarded professors in their respective fields. The program will be delivered in three, 2-½ day sessions over three consecutive months. The intensive curriculum consists of 15 segments covering seven key leadership topics. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate from the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management.

Students will complete a 360° Leadership Practices Inventory and receive an individual report with results and interpretation guidelines. Each student will also develop an individual action plan over the course of the program to complete the learning process. An online community will be created to provide a platform for continuing peer relationships developed at the academy. Upon completion of the program, attendees will earn a certificate from the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management which is the largest graduate program in the Southwest United States and has been delivering practical business curriculum for more than 40 years.
