Training
• Leadership – discussion: The academy is designed to provide those employees who are in
supervisory and above position with training. Non-supervisory employees are allowed to
attend. They are not primary attendees and will be bumped for those who are in such
positions. There will also be a limit of the number of non-supervisory employees to ensure
an appropriate balance between supervisor and non-supervisory employees. Higher level
employees are priority over their subordinates for participation. It is the intent to not have
a manager and a subordinate supervisor in the same class. History has shown that it may
limit the participation of each member.
