2025 ODTUG Leadership Program Application

ODTUG Mission Statement

ODTUG provides networking and quality, relevant knowledge to the Oracle community.

About the Program

In an effort to enhance the leadership skills of its members, ODTUG is pleased to announce its sixth ODTUG Leadership Program. This program will cover topics such as leadership styles, effective communication, mentoring, team building, goal setting, and accountability.

The submitted applications will be evaluated, and a small group will be chosen for the class based on the application as well as follow-up interviews. There is no application fee for the Leadership Program – it costs nothing to apply. However, if you are accepted into the program, you must then become a full, dues-paying ODTUG member.

All meetings of the Leadership Committee will be virtual. The onboarding session of the Leadership Program will be in early January. This session is mandatory. After the onboarding session in January, we will meet monthly (weekday and time TBD), with program graduates announced at the Kscope25 Conference. To graduate from the program, you can miss no more than two sessions.

By submitting this application, you are indicating that you will devote the time and resources necessary to complete the program. Even though emergencies do arise, any participant missing more than two of the remaining seven sessions, for whatever reason, may be asked to withdraw from the program.

Who Should Apply

Persons who wish to advance into leadership positions along their career track, persons who have been recently promoted and wish to improve their effectiveness in their current position, persons looking to switch careers or transition to technical management opportunities – all of these should consider the ODTUG Leadership program.

Who Should Not Apply

Seasoned technical managers, graduates of corporate leadership programs and veteran team leaders need not apply – you already have the skills we aim to impart in our Leadership Program participants.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY NOVEMBER 29, 2024, AT 11:59 PM EST.

THE LEADERSHIP TEAM WILL CONTACT APPLICANTS BY DECEMBER 27, 2024.

Please note: You may not submit any written work generated by an AI program as your own.

VI. SELECTION PROCESS

All application materials will be reviewed to determine a field of finalists.

Finalists will be asked to submit two letters of recommendation. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact the reference and request a recommendation to be submitted. Such letters should describe the applicant's potential as a leader in general, as a future Oracle community leader and how his/her leadership will benefit the Oracle community. The reference letters, when requested, should be emailed to odtug@odtug.com with the applicant's name in the subject line.

Applicants who are selected as finalists will also be invited to a brief (approximately 10 minute) virtual interview.

Leadership Program members will be selected based on all application materials, letters of recommendation and the virtual interview.
