About VTLI

 

The program prepares industry professionals, who want to advance their careers to blend their knowledge, skills and abilities with leadership theory and business strategy. VTLI will focus on leadership, communication, development, and management.

 

Program Elements

 

VTLI will incorporate a selective enrollment process to ensure industry only participation.  Industry experts will serve as course moderators and presenters to cover industry best practices.

 

VTLI is a one-year (1) program that will include four (4) required, in-person sessions with a Tourism Impact Project as a part of the certification process. The course work is designed to move participants toward earning an industry credential with a planned recertification process.

 

These quarterly, in-person meetings will provide important peer-to-peer networking opportunities in addition to the educational content and testing.

 

Each annual program, to be aligned with a fiscal year (July 1-June 30), will host a maximum of 30 participants per class/cohort, and participants are required to attend all sessions to be eligible for graduation.

 

The sessions will be held in four (4) different regions across the Commonwealth, with two to be aligned with the VADMO Fall Meet-Up and VADMO Spring Symposium. The remaining two sessions will be stand-alone.
