The Kansas County Commissioners Association in partnership with the Kansas Association of Counties sponsors a leadership development program for county commissioners. Voluntary certification for completion of the Kansas Leadership Academy for County Commissioners is offered at two levels of course work, and individual workshops are offered over a two year period to coincide with the county government election cycle. This plug-in is free of charge and supports most operating systems. Certification Requirements Participants will successfully complete 50 hours of instruction through a combination of core and elective courses.
All courses are four hours in length unless otherwise specified.
The seven core workshops are offered at regional locations over a two-year cycle. A new cycle will begin in February, 2001. Similarly, education designed to expand commissioners public sector leadership and management skills will also qualify as meeting requirements for this elective. Instruction may be offered through KAC or other KAC-approved education providers. The KAC Education Director makes final determination as to whether elective credit shall be awarded.
