County commissioner Chris Abbuhl participated in the 18th annual County Leadership Institute, a program developed by the National Association of Counties and Cambridge Leadership Associates.
The institute, held June 11-15 in Washington, D.C., encourages county officials to consider innovative approaches to address key issues facing their counties and constituents.
The program is designed to help county leaders further develop their approaches toward solving complex challenges. It provides tools to encourage innovation and creativity, resources for invigorating organizational culture, and best practices in effective communication, collaboration and decision-making.
“County officials often address similar issues and can learn a great deal from one another. The County Leadership Institute fosters peer-to-peer learning and encourages common-sense solutions to challenges that counties and residents face every day,” NACo Executive Director Matthew Chase said.
Since its inception CLI has graduated nearly 388 leaders from 196 counties across 42 states.
This year’s program focused on the demands of personal leadership in the modern era of government.
