Government Leadership Excellence
Learn to lead today. Lead for a lifetime.
(this program was formerly known as the Southwest Leadership Program)
September 18-21, 2023
Go beyond basic leadership principles and discover innovative ideas to shape the future of your community from the inside out.
PROGRAM REDESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE IMPACT
As the impacts from the global pandemic and demands for societal change challenge the local and global economy, government leaders have never faced a more challenging environment. In response, the Southwest Leadership Program has been redesigned with your needs in mind. The new Government Leadership Excellence program provides a rich learning opportunity to help you discover how to lead through these complex issues.
Attendees will engage with other talented government and nonprofit leaders through live online modules that foster interaction and application. Join us as we explore The Leader Within, how to manage Hybrid Teams and much more. This is not a webinar. Each module will include a teaching and facilitation session which, together with collaborative learning activities with your peers, will equip you to lead with excellence.
