Each year applicants are chosen to attend ADHA’s Unleashing Your Potential weekend held in November in Chicago, IL. ADHA receives applications from many deserving individuals across the country. The Leadership Development Committee reviews each application carefully to determine which candidates will derive the greatest benefit from this opportunity to further develop their leadership skills. Those chosen mingle with fellow ADHA leaders and absorb the great deal of information regarding leadership skills, collaborative leadership and fiduciary responsibility shared this exciting weekend.

The submission process begins during the ADHA Annual Conference in June of 2018. Applications are due August 1, 2018.

Please read these details carefully as your application will be considered your commitment to attend should you be chosen.
