In April, Authority members convened at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego for the California JPIA’s new Executive Summit. This two-and-a-half-day training event targets tenured city managers and agency chief executives, guiding them in how to effectively establish a culture of risk management at their agencies. Attendees delved into a range of crucial topics, including leading through complexity and chaos, fundamental strategies for effective CEO / governing board relationships, and personal and organizational ethics.
Attendees appreciated the opportunity to exchange views with each other on their everyday challenges, with some commenting on the value of the small groups that facilitated open and honest discussions.
The next Executive Summit is slated for April 2026, with the exact dates and location to be announced closer to the date of the event.
Academies and Summits, developed by the Authority, serve as immersive multi-day training platforms tailored to specific public sector disciplines. They offer attendees a dynamic environment to interact with peers, exchanging real-world challenges and successes.
