LGM Testimonials
The LGM intensive leadership course enabled me to adopt best
practices, and truly sharpen my skills in a cross agency
environment. The Return on Investment (ROI) session alone
was an invaluable exercise in efficiency which made us all look
at our departments through a fiscal lens. The instructors
were the best: their unreserved candidness made for a rich
learning environment.

My recent position change is a substantial promotion for me and I
believe the Leadership for the Government Manager program really
helped me in the interview process. I really thought the
class to be very beneficial and so well done.
