Important information about visiting us.

Participants will explore the conditions for achieving a successful interagency process and outcome, and the unique skills needed to effectively create those conditions and lead interagency conflict management efforts. 

Participants will also look at ways for engaging with the interagency, while  building support within one's own agency for collaboration. They will examine international response case studies that highlight the interagency role, and engage with speaker "mentors", who will provide guidance on issues participants are confronting. 

A capstone exercise will help students test and refine their "lateral" leadership skills, that is, leading teams or groups in situations where there is no established authority.
