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.
