RFL Academy 2025 Agreements

Participation in Roaring Fork Leadership Academy requires a substantial commitment in time and energy from each class member. Your financial commitment of $3,795 covers approx. 50% of the costs of the program.  The remaining $3,795+ is subsidized through grants, sponsorships and donations as an investment in you from the community.  To maximize this investment from both yourself and the community, please consider carefully the following agreements, sign and date this form and return it to RFL no later than August 5, 2024.

The class curriculum is posted on the RFL LMS, and will be provided at the retreat. If you have any questions regarding these agreements, please reach out to the Executive Director before signing.

  • I commit to attending the Conscious Leadership/Retreat and Adaptive Leadership sessions and realize that if I cannot attend either of these two sessions in their entirety, it will automatically prohibit me from continuing with the program.
  • I will not miss more than two of the remaining sessions.  If I am unable to attend a session day, I will be in communication with the Executive Director as soon as possible.  If I miss more than two sessions, I acknowledge that I will be required to drop from the program.
