TGMI

Hopefully you have heard of the Tennessee Government Management Institute by now since we have been conducting this annual program on behalf of state government since 2000.

This year's class met for their first week in Knoxville May 8-13. I gave the class an overview of IPS during their Monday luncheon. President DiPietro talked to them about his perspectives on leadership during their Wednesday luncheon.

Bonnie and Josh Jones made a presentation on social media Wednesday afternoon. Keith Groves gave a presentation on Lean Government Wednesday morning. Macel Ely walked them through working across the generations on Friday. There were many other interesting sessions during the week including a team building exercise at Cove Lake.

This year's class includes representatives from across state government. In addition the the leadership and management development part of the program, they are getting good exposure to UT and IPS. Tom Kohntopp is leading our efforts with the state. Week two is coming up in June.
