SOUTHWEST LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR LOCAL & STATE GOVERNMENT

"The program provides a great environment for learning networking and reflection!"

AzCAP kicks off the new century (and ninth year) for Southwest Leadership with a brightly-colored new brochure and the return of the most highly-rated faculty. Philosopher Lou Marinoff will lead a full session of "Philosophy as a Problem Solving Tool." Frank Benest, now Palo Alto city manager, and Donald Coyhis, White Bison executive, both introduced in 1999, will also return. We welcome back Jan Brinson's "Creative Decision Making" after a one-year absence; she will join longtime favorites David Landis, the Glasers Lou Weschler and Carl Neu in providing top notch leadership development for government leaders in the Southwest.

"It offers a tremendously practical, stimulating opportunity and invitation to change oneself and ones work environment."
