Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the renowned and rewarding Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) Senior Executives in State and Local Government program!

During a lively special session, “Get a Taste of the Harvard Kennedy School Senior Executives in State and Local Government Program,” which takes place on Monday, September 26, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., program graduates and ICMA scholarship recipients will discuss how the program can enhance your career and help you better serve your community, while offering real-world solutions that can enrich your residents' lives.

The session is brought to you by ICMA Strategic Partners eCivis and The Ferguson Group (TFG), co-sponsors of the Harvard Kennedy School Scholarship program. TFG has underwritten the ICMA scholarship program since 2011; e-Civis came on board as a co-sponsor in 2016.

Session participants will include:

  • Peter Auger, city manager, Novi, Michigan
  • Norton Bonaparte, city manager, Sanford, Florida
  • Gayle Mabery, town manager, Clarkdale, Arizona
  • Karen Pinkos, assistant city manager, El Cerrito, California
  • Bill Ferguson, chairman, The Ferguson Group, LLC, Washington, D.C. (session leader)
  • James Ha, president and CEO, ECivis, Inc., Pasadena, California (session leader)

This year TFG and eCivis underwrote two tuition scholarships to the three-week HKS program, which balances traditional and hands-on learning to help seasoned public officials meet the changing needs of their constituents and communities. The scholarships enabled session participants Peter Agh, citymanager, Dvory, Slovakia; and Heather Worthington, deputy county manager, Ramsey County, Minnesota, to attend the 2016 HKS programs.
