The National Association of Counties (NACo) High Performance Leadership Academy is an online, 12-week program that empowers frontline county government professionals with the most fundamental leadership skills to deliver results for counties and communities.
NACo and the Professional Development Academy created the interactive program in collaboration with the late General Colin Powell, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, private sector executives, and local government officials—all to enable your existing and emerging county leaders to achieve their highest potentials.
More than 5,000 participants have enrolled from counties across the country since the launch of the program, with incredible feedback and results. In fact, the positive feedback and demand for this NACo program has been truly unprecedented: to the point that NACo now has four scheduled opportunities to attend each year.
The Academy has proven relevant and nondisruptive for self-paced and collaborative learning. Participants have the opportunity to engage with peers from other counties and receive expert guidance from program facilitators throughout the 12 weeks of course materials, all with a flexible four-to-five hour per week time commitment.
The cost per enrollee begins at $1,645.
To enroll, visit the NACo High Performance Leadership Academy webpage at NACo.org/Skills.
