Education & Training

Education and Training – EOPA and the University of San Francisco jointly run a Certificate in Public Leadership that expands lawmakers’ and civic leaders’ knowledge to effectively create, communicate, and implement policy through gaining a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence, leadership and management, public speaking, body language, value-based communications, legislative procedures, cyber security, and empathy-based fundraising, while connecting with elected officials who have had a significant impact on public policy. Lawmakers are asked to develop a policy solution to use in the course and advocate for that policy during and after the in-person and virtual programs. The best solution receives a $10,000 prize for implementation.
