L2000+ Leadership Academy is a certificate program of the John Glenn School for current and emerging leaders in mental health and addiction services agencies. The vision of L2000+ is to create a leadership institute of excellence for leaders in the field by:

• Offering innovative, individualized and diverse learning opportunities
  
• Creating an ongoing learning community and growth across professional boundaries
  
• Developing the skills needed to meet and exceed the needs and expectations of customers, and
  
• Building capacity to improve quality, cost effectiveness and access.

L2000+ was created based upon a needs assessment conducted to determine the viability of creating a leadership development initiative in Central Ohio. The four month study produced overwhelming consensus in support of creating such an initiative. The sixty plus behavioral health care leaders who participated in the assessment were able to identify the challenges facing the next generation of behavioral healthcare leaders and the knowledge, skills and attitudes required of leaders to face these challenges. These findings guided curriculum development for the L2000+ Leadership Academy.
