LeadAR - How to Apply
Applications

Applications for the LeadAR program can be submitted in the spring of even numbered years. Persons wishing to apply before the application process opens may send their name and address to the LeadAR office (P.O. Box 391, Little Rock, AR 72203) to be added to a new applicant pending file or fill out the on-line form. When the process officially begins, persons listed in this file will be notified with application information.

Recruitment of applicants occurs year round. LeadAR alumni, Extension faculty, LeadAR Advisory Council members, selected corporate sponsor contacts, and people on the pending list are sent application information in late spring of even numbered years. The information includes a program description, selection criteria, and links to application forms. Online application form links will be activated when the application process begins.

The deadline for receipt of applications is usually set sometime in July. As applications are received, additional application forms are sent or activated online with a return deadline of late August. These include an employer commitment form, a supporting application by spouse (if applicable), a military commitment form (if applicable), and recommendation forms to be completed by two business and two personal references.

After all application materials are received, interview dates are set (usually in September and October) to complete the process. Should a very large number of applications be received (which is extremely rare) a first-cut process would be conducted by the selection committee to reduce the applicant list to a manageable number.
