Leaders in California are currently making public policy
decisions that will shape outcomes for decades. The
responsibility facing these elected leaders is continually
increasing. The Great Valley Leadership Institute provides
support to enable participants to better address issues
of leadership and to acquire a new frame of reference
and improved tools to deal with complex and broad issues.
Considered for participation are bright, motivated
elected officials, serving on Boards of Supervisors,
City Councils, and School Boards, who have been in office
at least one year. The class will include both proven
leaders who welcome the opportunity to add a new dimension
to their understanding of themselves and further improve
their effectiveness; as well as individuals who might
be in office for the first time but show great potential
to be the standout leaders of tomorrow.
The Institute is an intensive, 4 ½-day experience
that will provide you with key insights to help you
make the most of your elected position and reach your
full leader potential. GVLI provides an unmatched opportunity
to access world-renowned faculty from the John F. Kennedy
School of Government at Harvard University. This is
a rare chance to have West Coast, direct access to distinguished
faculty in a small-group atmosphere.
Instructions for submitting nominations are listed on
the Nomination page for
GVLI.
Class VIII completed the Institute in October 2007.
Class IX is slated to take place in 2008 with a date
to be determined in early 2008.
