Technology Executive Leadership Academy 

We will hold the next session of our innovative leadership training program for high potential IT managers in the Spring of 2010. The Technology Executive Leadership Academy (TELA) is targeted to managers and directors you want to groom for executive IT leadership.

This program was inspired by conversations at TXPEG, our CIO / CTO roundtable and developed with support of several individual TXPEG members. The graduates of our spring 2007 TELA gave it a 100% Net Promoter score (100% said they were extremely likely to recommend it to a friend or colleague)!

Since this program is gaining a reputation of excellence and we only take 16 people, I recommend you reserve space now for the spring. Please review the following information and let me know if you would like to have one or more of your folks participate.
