The Leadership Academy is an instructional appendage of the International Association of Ministers’ Wives and Ministers’ Widows, Incorporated.  It is not a separate entity and, therefore, operates in accordance with the Constitution and By-laws of the organization and under the authority of the International President.  It will provide in-depth information on the organizational structure of IAMWMW INC., specifically and the function and responsibility of each officer and committee. The academy is a vehicle for fostering the development of strong effective leaders for the 21st century, and therefore, will place emphasis upon research-based leadership skills and highly recognized and accepted leadership concepts.   Effective use of 21st century computer applications will be a cornerstone of both classroom and online virtual instruction.
