  Competencies

  leadership training (LAMS, CPOA, etc.)
• Driven by your unit and supported by the
  Commandant and National Commodore
• Web based application with variety of training
  and non-training interventions.

Why Have a ULDP ?

• Good Leaders know leadership development is the
  right thing to do!
• Its the right thing to do, but Auxiliary Units
  arent sure where to start
• Leadership resources were out there but were not
  provided in a systematic method.
• No process in place to support the learning
  provided in resident courses back at the unit!
