Richmond Ambulance Authority Leadership Academy Class of 2009
The Richmond Ambulance Authority (RAA) is proud to announce the completion of its first year-long Leadership Academy class on June 30, 2009. The Richmond Ambulance Authority Leadership Academy (RAALA) program began in July 2008 with a group of 34 supervisors, managers, directors, and chiefs meeting monthly for two hour learning sessions, supplemented with outside assignments and projects. Each month’s session highlighted a different skill needed to be an effective leader in a high performance EMS system, including: supervisory skills; customer, community and media relations; finance, reimbursement, and compliance; leadership competencies; Myers-Briggs personal assessment; clinical and technology overviews; system status management; and the history of RAA and the City of Richmond. The capstone of RAALA was the final session on June 30 when five groups of participants presented creative ideas for improving or enhancing RAA, which they had developed and researched. |
