• Develop and deliver a leadership speaker video series (12 recorded 15-20 minute video segments) that features current VA Senior Leaders in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) that primes VHA employees on key preparatory and leadership development knowledge and skills required of those serving in more senior-level, C-suite, VHA positions.

The leadership development content and developmental activities will be curated specifically to each level of the LDF, designed for ease of use, delivered on a VA supported platform, and include business rules that allow HLTI to sustain content curation and delivery.
