The Executive Leadership Institute assists the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government in meeting the professional development needs of Federal, State, and local agencies and officials with public service responsibility.
The Institute accomplishes this mission through educational programs, applied research, and professional and community service initiatives. Educational programs include the Executive Master of Public Administration Program for practitioners at off-campus locations. Applied research projects provide technical assistance to agencies in managing technological and organizational innovations. Our professional and community service initiatives include public safety programs, watershed and natural resource seminars, and training workshops with rural communities and diverse social groups.
