Public Service Leadership Institute Launch Event

The Partnership for Public Service invites you to our Public Service Leadership Institute launch event on Wednesday, June 8, from 8:30-11 a.m. ET. This hybrid event will include panel discussions, keynote speakers and an opportunity to engage with other federal leaders. Speakers will touch on timely government leadership topics and address the importance of public service leadership for our nation. The event will be held in person at the Partnership’s office in Washington, D.C., with the option to join the formal program virtually.

What is the Public Service Leadership Institute?

To address the most pressing challenges of the day, our country needs elected, appointed and career government leaders of integrity who can unify us in bringing solutions and hope to a beleaguered world. And yet, today’s public service leaders lack a place to go where they can rally behind a single leadership standard, develop essential leadership skills together and recommit to their constitutional oath. This is why the Partnership for Public Service is creating the Public Service Leadership Institute, the preeminent source for public service leadership perspectives, programs and policies. Those who engage in our work will strengthen their stewardship of public trust and reinforce their commitment to public good, ultimately delivering greater results to the country and improving public trust in government.

What to expect as an in-person attendee

Attendees joining us in person will be able to access our open house and breakfast reception anytime between 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. ET, prior to our formal program at 9:45 a.m. ET. During this session, guests will enjoy a complimentary breakfast, network with fellow government leaders and connect with some of our guest speakers during the open house segment. We encourage you to join us in person to participate in our reception options!
