The Global Leadership Academy (GLA) — hosted by the Endocrine Society — is an invitation-only program designed to celebrate and further develop the talent of emerging leaders within the endocrine research and clinical communities.
Each year, national endocrine societies from around the world support the GLA by nominating and sponsoring exceptional mid-career leaders (clinicians and scientists who are between 5-10 years post formal training) from within their membership to participate in this exclusive global cohort. Nominees accepted into the GLA receive a series of virtual and in-person (prior to annual ENDO meeting) case-based leadership development trainings to help accelerate their careers and build connections between their local societies and Endocrine Society leaders.
“GLA was a highly-productive leadership meeting and I view it as a great contributor to the success of us as global participants and the Endocrine Society as an organization. This gathering resulted in a blossom of excellent ideas and strategies for the early and mid-career endocrinologists' future career goals and paths. As a participant, I left the meeting energized and inspired.”
