Section 8: Applicant Commitment

Upon acceptance to the New American Leadership Academy, I am expected to respect and honor the opinions and beliefs of others. I am expected to remain professional and mindful of the overall goals and objectives of the program. I am also aware that the program will not tolerate any behaviors such as overt alienation of participants/individuals because of their beliefs, inappropriate forms of communication, and a display of strong emotions, that would interfere with the integrity, mission and objectives of the program. I understand the time commitment and the program goals. If selected, I plan to attend each session in its entirety. I understand that if I miss more than two sessions or fail to actively participate, I may not complete the program and may be ineligible for future participation. I further agree that the information presented herein is accurate and complete to the best of my ability and that no omissions or false statements have been made to justify my participation in the program.
