Leadership Level is a way of describing where each leader is on a leadership experience scale or proficiency progression:


• Level 1, Foundational: Typically used to describe those new to leadership, this progression focuses on “Leading of the Self,” or what one member can do his/herself to lead and/or impact change.


• Level 2, Mobilizing & Power-Building: This describes members who are leaders in the mid-range of their leadership service, and refers to leaders who lead the organization.


• Level 3, Agenda-Driving: This progression covers those at the top leadership level and includes leaders who set the policies/agendas for the national, state and/or local affiliate. Agenda driving leaders focus on leading others.


• Level ALL: This is not a level but indicates that the session is inclusive of all levels.
