Price increase across all programs effective Oct. 1, 2022. This will include the NACo High Performance Leadership Academy and the NACo Cybersecurity Leadership Academy.

The retail price will be increased to $2,995, however, NACo and PDA will offer a $1,000 scholarship for every person enrolled in the Academy so no county will pay more than $1,995 through 2023. Please do not hesitate to reach out to PDA’s Senior Director of Enrollment, Luke Afeman (lukea@pdaleadership.com) if you have any questions.

Developed by General Colin Powell, the Professional Development Academy and NACo, the High Performance Leadership Academy is an online, 12-week program that helps your workforce develop fundamental, practical leadership skills to deliver results for counties and our residents.
