The Mike Molino RV Learning Center is accepting applications for the 2023-2024 Duane Spader Leadership Development Scholarship.
The scholarship honors the RV industry service of Spader Business Management founder Duane Spader, a past chairman of RVDA and life-long learning champion, RVDA said.
Through the Mike Molino RV Learning Center and Spader Business Management leadership development partnership, a scholarship is awarded annually to one current or future leader.
The deadline for scholarship applications is Oct. 1, 2022. The recipient receives full tuition valued at $14,875 to attend the 18- to 24-month Leadership Development Program (LDP). The recipient will be responsible only for travel expenses. Applicants must be an employee of an RVDA dealer member.
The Spader LDP is an 18- to 24-month program for current and future leaders that involves five three-day sessions. In between sessions, participants are tasked with putting what they’ve learned to work in their dealership and tracking the results of those efforts through assignments and one-on-one sessions with a Spader coach.
The recipient will be selected shortly after the application deadline in ample time to prepare for the first session.
Upon graduating from the program, participants will know how to:
- Lead their organization’s culture and strategy
- Improve their leadership and management effectiveness
- Coach their team to higher performance
- Effectively understand and manage each area of Total Business Success
- Hire the best candidates for each position
- Deliver world-class customer service
