Virginia Association of County Leadership Development: Learn from the best!

Scholarships still available for you and your team.  

Join the 1,700 counties and state associations already benefiting from the effectiveness of the NACo Leadership Academy, the 12-week, online leadership program led by General Colin Powell. The James City County Administrator shares his thoughts on just how impactful the NACo Leadership Academy has been on their team and county.

“As far as the Academy, I’ve received very positive feedback from my staff who have gone through the program. From what I’ve seen and heard, this program gets everyone speaking the same language and I expect that will have a positive effect on how my team operates on a daily basis. Having the opportunity to share ideas and challenges with other localities and municipalities was beneficial especially during the pandemic. Ultimately, improving our leadership skills will improve communication and collaboration across the county and the services we provide to our community. I look forward to more of the team going through the NACo Leadership Academy.” County Administrator, James City County
