What Is Lyceum?

The AMA Lyceum Leadership Program is a yearlong volunteer leadership development experience designed to identify, inform, and empower the next generation of apartment association leaders.

Throughout the program, participants explore the essential elements of effective leadership while gaining a deeper understanding of AMA and the apartment industry. It's also an opportunity to build relationships and discover new ways to get involved. Several Lyceum graduates have gone on to serve on the AMA Board of Directors.
