Part 1: Student Agreement

I, ______(print/type name) am enrolled as a participant in the 2018 Colorado Leadership Development Program (CLDP). As a CLDP participant, I agree to the following:

  • Attendance at Orientation is mandatory as it establishes the foundation of the 12-month program. If you are unable to attend the Orientation, please let us know immediately. A substitute from your organization may be considered.
  • I will attend each of the scheduled sessions during the course of the program. If I miss more than two scheduled session days during the program year, I understand that I will not receive a graduation certificate.
  • It is my responsibility to schedule coaching sessions with my assigned coach and to attend these sessions at the agreed upon time. I recognize that my coach is an independent contractor, has obligated this time in lieu of other commitments. For this reason, I will ensure that my coach is informed as far in advance as possible if I cannot attend the session as originally scheduled. I understand that I may have to forfeit this session if notification occurs less than 48 hours in advance.
  • To ensure my coaches are prepared for my coaching sessions and that those sessions are effective, I give OPM my consent to share the results of the assessments taken by me prior to the orientation (e.g. OPM Leadership 360, MBTI, etc.) with my assigned coach.
