County leaders are navigating a new era—where workforce expectations are shifting, institutional knowledge is evolving, and leadership gaps can’t wait to be filled “someday.”
 
The question isn’t if you invest in leadership development. It’s how quickly you can put the right people on the path.
 
The NACo High Performance Leadership Academy (HPLA) – Workforce Network Cohort is built for this moment.
HPLA WFN Cohort
In just 12 weeks, your team gains practical, immediately applicable leadership skills—strengthening how they communicate, collaborate, and deliver results across departments. All within a flexible, fully online format designed for the realities of county government.
  • No travel. No disruption.
  • Cohort-based learning that builds peer connection across counties.
  • Real-world application—not theory.
And for your HR leaders, there’s even more value:
 
Participants can now earn 37 SHRM Professional Development Credits (PDCs) allowing your organization to align leadership development with professional certification goals, retention strategies, and workforce planning priorities.
 
This is more than training. It’s a strategic investment in continuity, performance, and the future leadership bench of your county.
The April 2026 Workforce Network cohort is enrolling now—and space is limited.
 
Secure your team’s place and start building the leadership capacity your county needs today and for what’s ahead.
Strengthen your workforce. Elevate your leadership. Deliver more for your community.
