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 packets in late spring of even numbered years. The
packet includes a program brochure(s), a list of selection criteria,
and one or more pre-application forms. A web link is included for
those who prefer to apply Online. At that time, Online application
form links will be activated.
The deadline for receipt of pre-applications is usually set
around the first week in July. As pre-applications are received,
additional application forms are sent to pre-applicants or activated
online with a return deadline of mid-September. These include a more
in- depth application form, 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 October and November) to complete the process.
Should a very large number of pre-applications be received (which is
extremely rare) a first-cut selection process would be conducted to
reduce the applicant list to a manageable number.
