    Leadership 254 Application and TAC Scholarship

    "For years, I’ve listened to a daily diet of leadership-related podcasts, but almost all are designed for leaders in the for-profit sector, none for leading a governmental agency. This program powerfully addresses how and why to best lead a Texas governmental agency and its people."

    —Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis, Class of 2019-2020
