Governing Leadership Forum: California 2016

Now in year six, the California Leadership Forum convenes thought leaders from state and local government across the Golden State. And, we invite amazing speakers to join us from across the country. Our California event is the largest of the year and reflects the diversity, innovative spirit, focus on technology, and energy of the most populous state in the U.S. Join us to meet colleagues, be inspired, and leave with a renewed commitment and new ideas for providing the best service to your community and constituents. This is an especially important year to gather; the Forum will include a post-Election 2016 debrief, and we’ll look around the corner to what’s next with our Governing Institute Senior Advisor, futurist Rebecca Ryan.

Topics we’ll look to explore include:

• The State of the Economy: 2016 and Beyond
• Gender Parity: How Women in the Workforce Can Significantly increase GDP
• Talent Search 101: Recruiting and Retaining for a Multi-Generational Workforce
• Financing for the Future: Where’s the Money for Critical Public Projects?
• Resiliency in the Golden State
• Government that Works: What Does It Take to be a Great Manager?
• Data-Driven Citizen Engagement
