Success of Digital Leadership Academy
Posted on 06/02/2026
OTAN wants to congratulate the members of the 2024-2026 Digital Leadership Academy cohort for successfully completing their two-year program.
Last month marked a bittersweet milestone as the Digital Leadership Academy (DLAC) 2024–2026 cohort gathered for their final in-person meeting. Over these last two days, Sacramento was filled with the energy of leaders who have spent the past two years transforming adult education through technology and strategic vision. Their dedication to professional growth and commitment set a high standard for adult education across California.
Reflecting on the Journey
Day one was dedicated to reflection where teams shared the highs and lows of their two-year journey, discussing the breakthroughs that propelled their agencies forward and the challenges that grew the team.
On day two, the floor belonged to the participants. Each team delivered a presentation, providing a comprehensive overview of their completed projects. From launching new Learning Management Systems to bridging the digital divide for their students, the work achieved by this cohort was inspiring.
