The Executive Program
The Executive Program at the Center for Human Services, UC Davis Extension, presents a unique opportunity for county agency directors to come together and focus on key issues impacting public human services agencies. In full-day sessions led by national experts, directors gain new perspectives along with fellow directors and engage in high-level discussions in a thought-provoking and action-oriented format.
Discussions also focus on key leadership issues in agency policy and practice, including:
- executive and managerial exchanges across counties and agencies
- inter-county projects and issues framing
- resource sharing and development
- new director development
- policy and practice reviews
- leadership skills enhancement
- advisory role for leadership development programs
Relevant topics
In the past, the Executive Program has focused on a variety of topics such as:
- economic forecasting
- juvenile court and welfare services
- innovation and technology applications
- fiscal planning and fiscal solutions
- TANF reauthorization
- Child Welfare Redesign
Program format
Each session of the Executive Program includes a full day of roundtable discussion and action planning led by experts in the field. Sessions typically take place once a month for a period of four to five months.
