"For me, the program threw gasoline on a candle." "The idea of running for office has been like skydiving without a parachute. Now, I have a chute ."
"I always thought I had something valuable to offer in the public servant role, but dreaded the process. Now, I'm inspired."

| Ever thought you could make a difference as a future public leader? Prepare here first without cost to you.
We're a non-partisan public-leadership development program that asks participants to explore the possibility of public leadership (without requiring a commitment to run for office) and in the process learn about about candidacy, leadership and public policy.
You'll be challenged to consider how your professional experience, skills and talent can address public issues while networking with leaders and possibly (here's the exciting part) your future fellow public leaders.
First, though, you must apply. If you're ready, download an application. If not, read on or contact us.
