A cohort of current and future leaders selected from CDFA’s nine divisions recently completed the agency’s Executive Leadership Academy training course.

The course, offered in partnership with UC Davis, consists of six seminars over a six-month period which support our employees’ development both personally and professionally. Topics covered include high-priority leadership competencies and include assessments to support self-awareness and growth.  

CDFA’s objectives in sponsoring the Executive Academy are to invest in employees and enable them to reach their full potential, and also to improve succession planning by preparing leaders to step forward following retirements and other turnover. 

Congratulations to the latest cohort! We look forward to seeing your growth as you continue to serve the state of California and your communities!
