Who Attends
Our alumni represent the best and brightest executives and senior leaders in the greater Sacramento area. They come from private- and public-sector, nonprofit, small and large organizations that define and drive our region.
David Chao of Cisco/WebEx enrolled to round out his leadership skills and notes, "To my great surprise, much of what I learned I could apply immediately to my job. This was an excellent experience and I met quite a few outstanding individuals from the private and public sectors. I highly recommend the program to anyone who wants to advance their career in a management/executive capacity."
"Exceptional individuals lead weekly courses documenting real life management challenges. Classroom activities provide participants with a structured environment to respond to hypothetical situations that represent realistic dilemmas leaders encounter," said Keith Swanson of the California Department of Water Resources.
No matter whom you talk to, our alumni agree this program was a valuable investment in their growth.
