How do I take a Leadership Class?

Annually, the USGS announces a Call for Nominations for the Leadership Intensives and Leadership 101 classes. This announcement is traditionally communicated early each FY to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and is announced to all employees.

If you are interested in attending one of the Leadership classes, talk to your supervisor and let them know you would like to be nominated.
