What is Leadership Lyceum?Leadership Lyceum

The FAA Leadership Lyceum develops well-informed and highly motivated emerging multifamily housing volunteer leaders: people with a broad-based vision for, and commitment to the mission and strategic objectives of the Florida Apartment Association and its local associations. More info here.

This program cultivates current and future volunteer leaders who will guide and develop associations.

Selection Process

Module Descriptions and Topics

Each component of the Lyceum program is highly interactive and includes opportunities for candidates to engage in team building activities, discussions, and peer-to-peer engagement.

  • Module I | Governance
    • Ever wondered what a Board member's "job" really is? This module dives deep into board responsibilities, expectations, association staffing, financial responsibilities, ethics, discourse, and much more. You will also have the opportunity to engage and learn from senior leaders who will share their tips and tricks to enhance your volunteer journey.
  • Module II | Advocacy
    • One of the most fundamental responsibilities association leaders have is to be a champion for their industry and influence positive change. Participants will learn about the role associations like FAA play in shaping and influencing public policy, engagement, and the importance of grassroots advocacy. 
  • Module III | Seated at the Table
    • Associations have a responsibility to provide an environment where leaders with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences have a "seat at the table." In this module participants will take an inward look at their leadership style and how they impact the people within their sphere of influence. You will also learn about unconscious bias, diversity, representation, and gain perspective on how they can be part of building a "big tent" association.
