Executive Development Program Class of 2018 Program Coming Soon!
The Executive Development Program is for professionals seeking positions in middle or upper management in the developmental disability service delivery system as well as those seeking to enhance the delivery of services to individuals with developmental disabilities. The Executive Development Program takes place every other year in even-numbered years.
Classes for the next session of EDP will begin in January 2018, with one two-day unit taking place in Columbus each month from January to April and from August to November. No classes will be held in the months of May, June, or July to allow for attendance at other professional conferences as well as summer vacations.
The program has been approved by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities for continuing professional development units. Participants completing the entire program will earn 112 credit hours from the Ohio Department of DD. Additionally, the program when completed in its entirety meets the requirements of the advanced curriculum for administrators in Ohio’s developmental disabilities service delivery system as outlined in the Superintendent Certification Standards rule (OAC 5123:2-5-03 (B)(2)).
About the curriculum
In each session, OACB assembles a group of subject matter experts who have years of experience in adult education and are extremely knowledgeable in the DD world. Some of our presenters have worked with Fortune 100 companies across the country while others have served provider agencies and county boards of developmental disabilities in Ohio.
Registration for the 2018 program will be made available through MemberConnect, OACB’s member services portal, at www.members.oacbdd.org. Because there is limited space available for this exciting professional development opportunity, we encourage those who may be interested to act quickly and register on-line.
If you have any questions about the program prior to online registration, please feel free to contact Ann Neu at aneu@oacbdd.org or (614) 431-0616 for more information.
