About GovLeaders Academy
Education in service of better government.
Our mission is to advance the public sector by developing knowledgeable, capable leaders through relevant education and training.
Built around public-sector responsibilities.
GovLeaders Academy is a professional online training and development company for people who serve in local government and public service: elected and appointed officials, board members, public employees, supervisors, officers and the professionals who support public organizations.
The catalog covers governance, finance, operations, leadership and law enforcement, with Texas special purpose districts and law enforcement supervision among the first areas built out.
Our courses are built around applied learning: clear role expectations, informed oversight, ethical decision-making and effective leadership.
Our approach to learning
