Entering its tenth year, the APLP is a graduate certificate program combining the development of regional expertise with the enhancement of individual leadership capacity.

The program seeks outstanding individuals with proven leadership experience or high leadership potential from across the Asia Pacific region, North America and beyond.

All participants have at least a bachelor's degree, with the majority having graduate degrees as well. At least 20 countries are represented in each cohort, and APLP Fellows come from fields as diverse as government, business, NGOs, health sciences, media, monastic orders, and education. APLP participants will gain broad regional perspectives, become knowledgeable about the critical challenges facing the Asia Pacific region, and be trained to exercise leadership and promote cooperation.
The APLP was established through generous funding support from the Freeman Foundation.
