Nashville Davidson County Register of Deeds Karen Johnson has been selected to participate in the Senior Executives in State and Local Government program at the Harvard Kennedy School during the month of July.
The program, held on the Harvard Kennedy School campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, brings together over 70 leaders from across the United States and around the world for three weeks of intensive learning, leadership development, and peer exchange. Participants represent a diverse mix of mayors, city managers, state agency directors, county commissioners, law enforcement officials, and other senior leaders in public service.
"I'm honored to join this extraordinary cohort of public servants, and I look forward to a shared experience with this unique opportunity," said Johnson. "I look forward to learning from Harvard faculty and from the experiences of fellow participants as we work together to strengthen our leadership skills and find new ways to serve our communities more effectively."
Led by renowned faculty from the Harvard Kennedy School, the program focuses on real-world problem solving, crisis management, negotiation, and leading in times of change. It offers a unique opportunity for senior officials to step away from day-to-day responsibilities and reflect, learn, and return to their organizations with renewed insight and energy.
