Local Government Leadership Program

The Naifeh Center for Effective Leadership recently hosted the 2011 Local Government Leadership Program (LGLP). More than 40 local government leaders from across the state spent two days in Knoxville. The real benefit of the program is the networking that occurs, but participants also benefited from outstanding speakers on topics ranging from personal leadership to leading in a political environment.

Immediately following the LGLP event, the center hosted an LGLP Alumni event. We've been conducting LGLP since 1990 and a large number of those leaders remain in office. This annual reunion event gives the participants a chance to renew and reflect, as well as network.

Congratulations to Tom Kohntopp and Macel Ely for these two successful events. And, special thanks to all the consultants who helped recruit participants to the classes.
