=__ Welcome to the CEA Leadership Academy WIKI! __=

CONGRATULATIONS! Someone in your local identified you as an "up and coming" leader in your local association! Feel honored and proud of this accomplishment.
 * What is the CEA Leadership Academy, and why am I here?**

The CEA Leadership Academy was created to foster the development of individuals identified (appointed) by their local leadership as "up and coming" potential future association leaders. This is achieved by providing training in skills and tools focused on communication, and leadership development, as well as opportunities to network with other academy members from around the state.

**Why are we using a WIKI?**
1. Provide an efficient means of communication within our group as the year progresses. 2. Engage group members to converse around specific topics, as well as share ideas. 3. Opportunity to utilize WEB 2.0 TOOLS for possible classroom integration.

What is a WIKI?
Think of a WIKI as in "WIKIPEDIA [.org]". It is a 'live' document that can be altered / updated by various members of a WIKI. It is a useful place to collect and organize the thoughts of a group (such as ours) and have conversations around a particular subject or group of subjects. This is much more effective than email conversations where responses can get buried in the thread.

How can we use this WIKI?
With this Wiki, we will capture our individual learning and discussions to inform the group as a whole. The group will be urged to use this forum to pose questions to other members of the group to foster discussions remotely, since we have limited face-to-face time.

Books: This will also be a good place to post findings from the books that were given to our group in our 'kick-off' meeting. Let's not limit use to these particular books, but any other research or resources that any of us find that could inform our discussions and development as a group.

=How do I get started?=

To your left, there is an index of menu items. This is how we use the WIKI to keep our 'conversations' organized. Each conversation thread should have a separate page which will have a link in the index.
