Who Should Attend:

Elected officials and upper-level managers from the federal, state, non-profit and local levels of government who want to increase their effectiveness, re-energize and enhance the skills needed for successful leadership, extend their network of professional colleagues, broaden their perspectives and learn in a fun, interactive environment should all consider attending the Rocky Mountain Leadership Program.

All Executive MPA students are required to attend the Rocky Mountain Leadership Program. While the program is offered to other qualified professionals there are special evening programs and other features exclusively for Executive MPA students. This provides an excellent opportunity for executive students to meet each other and get to know faculty in a relaxed mountain environment. For more information please contact Stephanie Samano at stephanie.samano@ucdenver.edu

The program is offered annually in the fall.

"The Rocky Mountain Program was, quite simply, the most profound educational experience of my career.

My undergraduate degree gave me methodologies, theory and broadened my perspective. My master’s degree taught me to apply the various theories and techniques I’d learned from my education and work experience. The Rocky Mountain Program gave me an opportunity to look inside myself to gain a better understanding of how I operate and make decisions.

For me, it was the last component I was missing to help me achieve my potential as a public administrator. I have started to apply some of what I learned by trying to analyze problems in ways that think beyond my own perspectives. I’ve encouraged my Town Council to work through issues as a group first, before involving staff. This is already producing benefits in the form of better understanding and communication between the members of my town council.

I can’t say enough for the RMP, the ideas I gained there, and alternative ways of thinking that I took away from the program."

– Aden Hogan, Town Administrator
