ASPIRE 2021 IS HAPPENING!
The New Cohort begins August 4-6, 2021 (starting virtually)
To maximize participant safety and participation ability, we will start the 9-month journey with a virtual retreat and finish the journey with an in-person retreat in Estes Park, CO in May of 2022.
Payment can be split into two payments across multiple budget years.
ASPIRE Together
Develop Your Leadership Savvy, Change Your Future!
ASPIRE, a compliment to MASTERMIND, is a focused five-month program for aspiring career services leaders (assistant directors, coaches, coordinators, associate directors) to grow their leadership depth, assess how they can lead more effectively in career services today, and explore what it takes to advance in their career.

TRANSPORTATION & LODGING
TRANSPORTATION ON YOUR OWN
-
We recommend renting a car and car pooling with colleagues.
-
Round Trip Shuttle from DIA to Estes Park (Plan ahead, book ahead). If arriving to DIA after 10:00am on Day 1, then you should carpool with colleagues or rent a car. 10:00am is the last best shuttle to Estes.
LODGING FAQs
-
Can I get to Estes the night prior or stay an extra night? Yes! The cost is on you, but you can call the Lodge to arrange this after you register and we get you on the roster - we will let you know.
-
Can I bring a partner or kids to stay with me. Yes. While they won't see you much during ASPIRE and will have to buy their own meal tickets, the YMCA of the Rockies was recently named the #1 Family Resort in the Country by USA Today. There are tons of things for partners and kids to do onsite and in the area. A good excuse to extend your stay.
