JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas --  Four Air Force officers have been selected for the Department of Defense Executive Leadership Development Program, Air Force Personnel Center officials said.

The one-year program - which begins in October - is designed for highly-motivated leaders whose performance has indicated strong aptitude for success in senior management roles, said Tech. Sgt. David Cannon, AFPC developmental education branch.

Selectees include Capt. Stacie L. Voorhees and Majors Sharon T. Cortney, Jordan P. Norman and Kevin L. Watts.

Participants will function in a simulated environment where they focus on real-life situations that involve short deadlines and require thoughtful decision-making, Cannon said.

"Candidates must be receptive to a unique training methodology, able to assume responsibility for their own learning, and be able to conceptualize and analyze problems effectively," he said.

Military members remain in their current assignments throughout the program, with the exception of 95 days that are spent in training, briefings and trips to learning environments.
