Leadership Program Accepting Nominations

County government veterans and rising stars who are interested in sharing or developing their leadership skills and creating a strong network of individuals interested in shaping solutions to challenging local problems can apply now to become a member of the 2010-211 Leadership Foundation Class.

The TAC Leadership Foundation Class is a selective two-year program that draws elected officials from diverse county offices and geographic locations. Members come together in a classroom setting to study management and communications skills and core critical issues affecting county government. Class members also benefit from insight given by established business and government leaders. Graduates become a member of the Foundation’s alumni group.

“We design the program so that members establish long-lasting relationships that can support each other’s future leadership efforts,” said TAC Training Consultant Mark Warren, who moderates the class.

The application deadline is May 15. County officials who wish to apply or who would like to nominate a peer for the class can call TAC at (800) 456- 5974 and ask for Kali O’Neill. Class members will be formally announced at TAC’s 2010 Annual Conference.
