First WY Lead Leadership Academy cohort group selected

By Kurt Borgaard, Training Services

The inaugural 2023 WY Lead cohort group has been selected. The cohort was selected by a process in which applications were received and reviewed by the WY Lead Selection Committee, as well as including the recent graduates of the Western States Leadership Coalition.

WY Lead is WYDOT’s internal leadership academy and is a structured leadership development program for existing supervisors or those with previous leadership experience who are interested in advancing with WYDOT. This leadership academy has been developed in collaboration with senior leadership, a leadership development program planning team, and a curriculum review team

The WY Lead program extends nine sessions and includes a time commitment of approximately six months with twelve hours per month for homework, in-person and online meetings, and project work.
