The cost of this 7 month program is $1,500 per participant.   The cohort will consist of 16 leaders from P&R agencies throughout the US.  Sign up before October 15, 2026 and save $300 per person.

The cohort will meet once a month for 1.5 hours each on Zoom.

Our experience tells us that Leadership growth comes attempting and perfecting leadership strategies with our teams. Each participant in the cohort will be paired with an accountability partner where implementation strategies (or homework) will be assigned between monthly workshops.    

Additionally, the final workshop is a Capstone format where participants make their leadership presentations back to the group (and their Manager) to reinforce their learning during the program.

LeaderGov has been facilitating local government workshops for over 12 years.   Our focus is exclusively around the challenges facing local government leaders in the US.    This cohort will be facilitated by Justin Cutler, who has extensive experience leading P&R teams at all levels and sizes of organizations.
