The word “lyceum” is commonly used today to describe a place or forum for discussion, presentation and learning. TAA’s Leadership Lyceum is designed to develop apartment association leaders at the local and state levels. The initiative was begun by TAA 2009-2010 President Rick Graf, CPM, and the class was designed by TAA’s Leadership Lyceum Task Force, chaired by Mike Clark with Alpha-Barnes Real Estate Services.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of task force members, the program went from idea to implementation in less than one year.

Candidates are nominated by their local apartment associations, and selected participants attend three quarterly half-day leadership sessions that are held in conjunction with TAA’s Board of Directors meetings.
 
Class members will graduate from the program during TAA’s Education Conference.
 
The three class sessions include:
  • The ABCs of Association Management
  • Planning Education and Community Services, and
  • Public Advocacy.

TAA’s Leadership Lyceum program is modeled on successful local programs in Houston, Lubbock and Tarrant County, as well as the National Apartment Association’s Lyceum program.

For more information about the program, please contact your local apartment association or TAA at 512/479-6252.
