Abstract
What is the impact of participation in leadership development programs in t erms of career progression and involvement in leadership activities? To add ress this issue, individuals who had participated in the Snowbird Leadershi p Institute from its inception in 1990 to 1998 were surveyed regarding thei r career progression since their participation, their involvement in leader ship activities, and their perceptions of the experience's impact on their careers. Although it is difficult to identify a direct relationship between participation in the Snowbird Leadership Institute and career progression and greater participation in leadership activities, the respondents did rep ort an increased level of leadership activity. In addition, their perceptio ns of the institute's value with regard to their careers were largely posit ive and indicated that many of their career paths would have been different had they not had the Snowbird experience.
