The Mike Molino RV Learning Center has announced that it will begin accepting applications for the 2023-2024 Duane Spader Leadership Development Scholarship.
According to a press release, the scholarship recognizes the RV industry service of Spader Business Management founder Duane Spader, a past chairman of RVDA, and a champion of lifelong learning.
Through the Michael Molino RV Learning Center and Spader Business Management leadership development collaboration, a scholarship is given each year to provide either a future or current leader the chance to take part in the program at no cost.
The deadline for scholarship applications is October 1, 2022. The recipient will receive full tuition valued at $14,875 for the 18- to 24-month Leadership Development Program (LDP). The recipient will only shoulder their travel expenses. Applicants must be an employee of an RVDA dealership member.
The Spader LDP is an 18 to 24-month program for current and future leaders that involves five three-day sessions. In between sessions, participants are tasked with putting what they’ve learned to work in their dealership and tracking the results of those efforts through assignments and one-on-one sessions with a Spader coach.
Upon graduation, participants will know how to lead their organization’s culture and strategy, improve their leadership and management effectiveness, coach their team to higher performance, effectively understand and manage each area of Total Business Success ™, hire the best candidates for each position, deliver world-class customer service, and assess and improve their dealership’s organizational and financial health
