| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) has partnered with the Association of Counties, Metropolitan State University, and Sourcewell to offer the LEAD Academy - a Public Sector Supervisor Certificate training program designed to give local government leaders the skills needed to go beyond department work to direct the work that needs to get done.
The program consists of 12 workshops including supervisor survival, time to lead, managing up and out, and human resource essentials. This seminar series helps to refine leadership style, transition to leading a department, define the role in human resources, and define the role at an organizational level.
Attached is a grid about the building blocks of the LEAD workshops.
Over the past couple of years, Shakopee Public Works Department staff including Ryan Halverson, Micah Heckman, and Jamison Theis completed the series and earned their Public Sector Supervisor Certificates. This is a huge accomplishment and only four other city/county individuals have earned this at the St. Paul location. Congratulations!
A short video produced by LMC congratulating Ryan, Micah, and Jamie will be shown at the meeting. | | |

Program participation was $1,200 per participant. The cost of this was funded out of the Engineering and Streets Department operating budgets as part of continuing education expenses. | | |
