Everyone at LeadAmerica
is highly supportive and committed
to the success of our students. They're
enthusiastic and caring and give students
the individual attention they need.
We purposely keep a low student to
staff ratio to ensure that our students
receive appropriate supervision and
have access to staff whenever they
need it.
 Faculty
The faculty
of LeadAmerica conferences are university
and graduate school professors and practicing
professionals drawn from each field of
study. They are carefully selected to
ensure that our students receive the
highest quality educational experience.
Their role is to bring the core curriculum
to life and stimulate thinking and discussion.
Our faculty are involved in all aspects
of the Conference experience, giving
students a chance to spend time with
them outside the classroom. The
faculty of the Washington Summer Scholars
program are American University professors.
 Team Leaders
Our Team Leaders are assigned to groups
of 12-18 students and facilitate simulations,
discussions and other practical experiences.
They inspire our students and serve
as positive role models. Team Leaders
are college and graduate level students
and adult professionals. Most have
academic and/or work experience in
the field of study. Many are pursuing
degrees in education and have peer
counseling, tutorial and leadership
experience. In addition to their own
experience, Team Leaders receive approximately
40 hours of LeadAmerica training.

Team Leaders and staff serve as Resident
Advisors. They live in the dorms and
are available to our students at any
time, day or night.
Administrative Staff
The Program Director oversees day-to-day
operations of the program and field
experiences and ensures that every
Conference runs smoothly.
The Site Director is responsible for
student safety and facilities and is
always available to students.
Other administrative staff members
are always on site and work with our
faculty, Team Leaders and students.
