Here’s what some had to say about the program:
“Leadership Albuquerque pulls no punches. You will learn the good, bad and ugly about issues impacting your family, your employer and your community. You will leave the program more informed, more passionate and better prepared for the next step on your leadership journey.” – Michael Hoffman, Lovelace Health System
“I really enjoyed participating in Leadership Albuquerque, especially since I moved here fairly recently. It gave me the opportunity to understand both the strengths and challenges that our community faces and motivated me to learn even more about how I can serve both my institution and the larger community.” – Heather Mock, Sandia Preparatory School
