SEI in a Leadership Nutshell

Local Government is a challenging profession
With multiple demands in a complex organization
A resource we uniquely strive to provide
The integrated experience of SEI.

After two weeks, we hypothesize
The personal and organizational learning curve will be high
Classroom time covers a broad spectrum of themes
Although the most meaningful learning occurs in small teams.

Explore OD, facilitation, creativity
Learn models and theories but also experientially
The faculty of local government practitioners is impressive
Fellow classmates are often the teachers most effective.

Democratic roots are pervasive, visible, and alive
Thomas Jefferson's academical village survives
Stretch into the future, revisit the past
A mosaic of impressions to consider and contrast.

Fitness options help offset the gourmet menu
A hilly terrain describes the scenic venu
Nature is the backdrop for a team excursion
Bowling becomes a unifying diversion.

We encourage you to step out of the fish bowl
And embrace a more reflective role
An opportunity to share ideas face to face
Without technology competing for space.

Your schedule is hectic, calendar always full
Consider SEI as a mini-sabbatical
Reinvent yourself with supportive peers
Friends to endure for countless years.
