Leadership Academy for Middle Managers (LAMM)
Developed by the National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI), the Leadership Academy for Middle Managers is a national training program for middle managers who work in public and tribal child welfare systems and in private agencies that provide services traditionally provided by state child welfare agencies. Its ultimate goal is to enhance the ability of middle managers to initiate and support organizational transformations that lead to sustainable systems change and improved outcomes for children, families, and communities.
The National Child Welfare Workforce Institute will be holding FREE Leadership Academies for Middle Managers.
Participants will be eligible middle managers (no education pre-requisites) who develop and implement change initiatives in their states, regions, tribes and metropolitan areas that are related to CFSR Program Improvement Plans, Child and Family Service Plans, and other change initiatives, including Implementation Center projects.

Leadership Academy for Supervisors (LAS)
The LAS is an exciting resource for supervisors in public, private and tribal child welfare agencies that provide child welfare services.
Based on feedback during our 2009 introductory year, the LAS updated the first three courses to make them more user-friendly. We have just added the sixth and final course–Leading Change–in the core curriculum.
This is a unique professional development opportunity to enhance leadership skills and network with others through regional peer networking forums. Certificates and/or CEUs are available for those who complete the training requirements.
This training is part of the National Child Welfare Workforce Institute, a member of the T/TA network of the Children’s Bureau.
