The Aspirus Emerging Leaders program is a 13-week leadership development program designed to provide additional learning opportunities for employees who have a desire and the potential to become leaders within the organization. 
 
While in the program, participants develop and learn about management and leadership skills, and dive deep into the leadership structure, along with the mission and values at Aspirus.
 
Mariah Mork started out as a triage nurse at Aspirus Waupaca Clinic where she expressed her interest in leadership. She was accepted into the Emerging Leaders program in September 2022 and was offered a position as a nurse supervisor at Aspirus Stevens Point Hospital before she graduated in December. She has since moved up to Clinic Manager at Aspirus Waupaca Clinic.
 
Through the program she was able to learn and grow as a leader while also networking and learning more about the Aspirus organization.
 
“While in the program you gain friendships, get to know many leaders within Aspirus and understand how Aspirus implements their missions and values within their leadership structure,” says Mariah. “The people I can reach out to for support are always very helpful and the program offers many resources.”
 
The program is made up of 35 members each session and is offered to anyone within the Aspirus system.

The Aspirus Emerging Leaders Program begins accepting applications in the spring and fall.
