PEAK stands for Providing Effective and Knowledgeable leadership, which is the goal of this program.   

The overall program is based on best practices for leadership development training. It includes a face to face workshop (one or two are offered each year in conjunction with AIChE events) and then the use of online eLearning materials—to be taken at your convenience via AIChE Academy.

The PEAK Workshop addresses the 4 key themes of the program: 

• Developing Personal Capabilities
• Working with Others
• Outcomes/Focusing on Results
• Setting a Clear Direction

In addition to learning invaluable leadership skills that apply to your volunteer work as well as your job, a side benefit is you will get to network and interact with other AIChE leaders in both appointed and elected roles.
