PA 5182 is a continuation of a year-long program that began in the fall with PA 5181. This program will be conducted in an integrated, cohort-based format. Aligned with the Humphrey School's mission to "inspire, educate, and support innovative leaders to advance the common good in a diverse world," the course focuses on particular goals relevant to a mid-career audience of public safety leaders who interact with the disciplines of law enforcement, fire, emergency management, EMS, and military units.
The program reflects values important to Hubert Humphrey himself: pragmatism, problem solving, and public service. Conceptually, we are drawing upon the work of national thinkers and experienced practitioners in public safety executive leadership, citizen engagement, and organizational change. We are guided by a theoretical framework emphasizing transformational leadership methods in the face of complexity.
