working tirelessly towards implementing change. ”In terms of where you fit overall in the top 100 in any Category, I would
rank you in the Top 10”, Ken Shelton, Editor, Leadership Excellence Publishing. DAU was recognized for its world-class
learning environment and its outstanding executive development and program management programs. DAU is to be
featured in the October 2006 issue of Leadership Excellence magazine for its first place ranking. Our success in this
