County Leadership Institute

The 16th Annual County Leadership Institute (CLI) was held in Washington, D.C. on June 9–13, 2019.

CLI is a rigorous four-day program offered in partnership with Cambridge Leadership Associates. NACo aims to enhance the capability of county officials to identify and implement innovative solutions to complex challenges facing county government. Attendees learn how to effectively address the demands of personal leadership in a new era of government. This era is characterized as a “permanent crisis” by CLI Program Developer and Cambridge Leadership co-founder Marty Linsky.
