Executive Development Program
The 2018 Executive Development Program has commenced, and no additional registrations can be accepted at this time.
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 began 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 meets criteria defined by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities for continuing professional development units. Participants completing the entire program will earn 112 credit hours. 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.
