About the Programs
ANTHC has three Leadership Development Programs which align with the Strategic Plan to provide a framework of expectations, guidance, and opportunity to develop and refine knowledge, experience, and skills of current trends in leadership development. The operational measures guide the organization toward the vision that Alaska Natives are the healthiest people in the world, and at the heart of the leadership development program is the mission, values and organizational culture that is ANTHC.
Our programs are designed to be complementary and progressive. Employees are encouraged to participate in multiple programs over time to gain diverse developmental outcomes.
ANTHC’s leadership development programs are designed to increase the numbers of Alaska Natives and Native Americans in management and professional positions.
The programs offered are:
- Pathways to Leadership (Pathways)
- Leadership Excellence through Advancement and Determination (LEAD)
- Alaska Native Executive Leadership Program (ANELP)
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at leadershipprograms@anthc.org.

- Leadership can be learned by exploring yourself from within.
- Experience is the greatest teacher.
- Develop a network of peers and mentors.
New for the 26-27 Program Year
If you’ve thought about applying for one of ANTHC’s Leadership Development Programs before but weren’t sure you had the time or capacity, this year is different. Programs still run from September through May. They are still rigorous, meaningful, and recognized across ANTHC and Tribal Health partners.
This year, our programs are structured in a way that makes them more realistic to complete without losing what makes them valuable.
Re-designing our programs for how leaders grow
We took a hard look at what was working, what structures needed to be improved, and what leaders were asking for. The result is a refined approach that builds on the strength of our programs while better aligning to the realities of today’s work.
Our programs continue to reflect values that are important across Alaska Native communities: learning through experience, growing through relationships, and carrying responsibility for the wellbeing of others.
This year, participants can expect:
- Intentional focus on high-impact development
- Your time and energy will be directed toward experiences that strengthen how you show up as a leader for your team, your community, and the people you serve.
- Connection to real work and community impact
- Learning that applies directly to your role while contributing to the broader mission of ANTHC and Tribal Health partners.

General Program Information
To provide their first networking opportunity as program participant, all attend a Program Kickoff in September and are introduced to the ANTHC leadership.
As a capstone to their year, participants attend and introduce themselves to ANTHC leadership, their family, and friends at the Leadership Development Programs Graduation in May.
During the program year, all participants receive valuable advice, knowledge, and expand their networks by meeting with a mentor(s).
Individuals that complete all three programs can earn up to 17 credits from Alaska Pacific University.
Program Eligibility
Applicants for these programs believe in life-long learning and are self-directed, self-aware, engaged, and willing to learn about effectively leading people and change. Candidates also understand the importance of focusing on outcomes, improving business acumen, and building partnerships that foster collaboration and teamwork. Candidates should have a strong desire to complete all core trainings and modules.
Each program has specific eligibility requirements, see specific program tabs for details.
Reapplication Policy After Withdrawal
Acceptance into a leadership development program represents a significant commitment for both the participant and the organization.
If you withdraw after being accepted but before completing the December core training, you will be ineligible to reapply for one full program year. This pause allows time for independent development and ensures that program seats are reserved for those who are fully ready to participate. Early withdrawals affect program planning, cohort stability, and prevent others from being offered timely access to the opportunity.
If you withdraw after completing the December core training—the program’s halfway point—and have demonstrated consistent engagement with assignments, mentoring, and other core elements, your situation may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility for future participation. These cases are rare and typically involve significant, unforeseen life circumstances.
Participants who have withdrawn from a leadership program more than once, particularly before the halfway point, may not be eligible to reapply. Exceptions will only be considered with:
- A written statement explaining the change in circumstances
- Supervisor support at the time of reapplication
- Evidence of meaningful professional growth since the last withdrawal
These guidelines help protect the integrity of the cohort-based experience while ensuring access for those who are ready to make a full and sustained commitment.

Pathways to Leadership
Pathways Information Overview
Imagine a program that doesn’t just teach leadership, it transforms lives and strengthens communities. Pathways is exactly that. It’s the largest and most diverse leadership development program offered by
ANTHC, designed for Alaska Native, Native American, and First Nations tribally-enrolled members who are shaping the future of health care across Alaska. Open to ANTHC and ATHS employees.
What makes Pathways extraordinary?
It’s open to individuals at every stage of their career, whether you’re just starting out or already leading teams. No formal higher education? No problem. Pathways is about potential, passion, and purpose. Over nine transformative months, participants embark on a leadership journey that begins with an energizing Kickoff in September and culminates in a proud Graduation in May.
Along the way, participants attend monthly core trainings, meet with a mentor, attend a leadership-level meeting, and create a Leadership e-Portfolio.
And the rewards? After passing the final exam, graduates earn a Certified Supervisor Certification—a credential that opens doors. Plus, they can choose to receive continuing education credits or even undergraduate credits from APU, adding academic value to their leadership journey.
Pathways isn’t just a program—it’s a movement. It’s about building leaders who honor their heritage, embrace their potential, and lead with strength and heart. Every graduate becomes part of a powerful network.
