After a rigorous and competitive selection process, we are pleased to announce the members of our latest cohort, LCDP Class VIII. The 23 individuals below have demonstrated a high potential for assuming greater leadership responsibilities in NOAA.
The LCDP is an 18-month intermittent NOAA leadership development program. The program will provide this cadre of employees with a series of cross-line, multidisciplinary training and learning experiences that will broaden participants’ understanding of NOAA’s strategic vision, mission, and goals, as well as our business processes. The LCDP, a key component of NOAA’s Strategic Human Capital Management Plan, is our premier succession planning initiative. It is a great honor to have been chosen for this prestigious opportunity.
The LCDP VIII program will begin on April 15, 2012, and will end on October 11, 2013. Participants are listed below in alphabetical order by Line Office.
