The Leadership Experience And Development (LEAD) Program complements the educational missions of Cascadia and the University of Washington Bothell. It stresses collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking in the work students accomplish. It also connects leadership to multicultural awareness, a commitment to service, and reflection in your approach to leading others. The LEAD program will transform the participants and shift their paradigm from seeing leadership in a position to understanding leadership as a process.
