Program Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The program consists of up to 11 sessions over the course of 1 month. Each session is 1.5 hours long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political leaders may participate in one or more sessions focused on 11 different topics. Each of the 90-minute sessions emphasizes the most relevant information that appointees need to do their jobs effectively. Participants will increase their expertise and executive skills by engaging in meaningful conversations with their peers and faculty, absorbing key lessons and best practices, and receiving critical resources needed to implement proven strategies. Political appointees may self-select into these sessions based on their responsibilities and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
