The National Home Delivery Association Foundation Leadership Institute develops future executives in the bulky goods, last mile logistics sector. The Leadership Institute’s robust, relevant curriculum provides a well-rounded understanding of differing operational models, administrative knowledge, and leadership skills so that Leadership Institute graduates are prepared to be successful executives and leaders of their companies. The NHDA Leadership Institute is a partnership with the High Point University Executive Education program. The program applies the Young Presidents Organization model of Executive Education run at Harvard University with its focus on applying the universal pillars of leadership. Graduates are recognized by the NHDA Foundation as “NHDA Fellows” and by High Point University with a Continuing Education Certificate. The academic elements of the Leadership Institute are led by Dr. Daniel Hall, Dean of the Phillips School of Business, supported by select faculty from High Point University’s Phillips School of Business and leading experts from the industry. Each session includes industry experts that focus on building an understanding of the complex operational challenges facing the bulky goods, last mile industry. Participants learn how to apply the principles of leadership to the challenges their organizations face.
The 2025 Leadership Institute is a three-part series including sessions in March and May at High Point University and the closing session held in concurrence with the NHDA Forum in Washington DC in July. The class is limited to 21 participants selected from a nominated pool of NHDA member companies and associate members. Full participation is important to gain the full benefits of the program so each class member should be prepared to be fully present during each session. Tuition is $7,500 which covers all expenses, except travel, associated with the class year. These include program facilitation, program course materials, overnight hotel accommodations, meals, and registration for the 2025 NHDA Annual Forum where they will be recognized for the successful completion of the Leadership Institute.
The NHDA Foundation offers a limited number of Scholarship Awards used to provide tuition assistance to incoming class members. Scholarship support is based on an applicant's needs and the funds available. A request for tuition assistance does not influence the decision of the Selection Committee. Every request will receive a confidential, thorough assessment and every effort will be made to support individuals who cannot otherwise afford the tuition. Awards generally do not exceed 50% of the full tuition amount
