As I look back at those who participated last year, we accepted 74 participants, of whom 12 were already executive directors. Of the remaining people, 24% have a new title at work since they applied a year ago, and almost all of those people were promoted at the same agency they were with last year. This is a great testimony to the way this program supports both the professional’s personal growth and the development of a great team of leaders for the supporting agency. Survey results show that 96% of respondents were satisfied or extremely satisfied with the program, 96% would recommend this program to a friend or colleague, and 93% intended to continue their mentoring relationships.

Recently I watched a television program Chicago Tonight. One of the segments focused on the state's task force to consolidate and dissolve local governments. As many of you know Illinois leads the country with the most units of government.
