"By far, the Roundtable is the most effective training I've ever encountered in my NPS career." 2002 Superintendents' Roundtable participant

"There is no better opportunity for superintendents to look closely at themselves and create a support group for the purpose of professional and personal advice and reflection." 2003 Superintendents' Roundtable participant

Now in its third year, the Superintendents' Leadership Roundtable is conducted for and by park managers to enhance their skills in meeting the leadership challenges associated with the accelerating pace of change and organizational transition. The program recognizes the extraordinary value of successful relationships in negotiating increasingly complicated issues with larger and more diverse internal and external publics. A core belief of this program acknowledges the unique value of and need for superintendents' participation in a forum of peers to discuss their successes and challenges. Each Roundtable has twelve participants, providing opportunities for park managers to enhance their skills in various leadership competencies.

This program initiative is being organized under the auspices of the Conservation Study Institute with service-wide support and participation. The Roundtable is also an integral part of the new Leadership Excellence Program being developed by the Northeast Region of the National Park Service.
