This three-day course is presented in a blended group dynamic, lecture, and panel format. Attendees have the opportunity to ask questions from a panel of current Police Chiefs and to interact, network, and build relationships with their peers. The course is designed for not only current chief’s executive assistants, but also those who fill-in during their absence, as well as those who are on the path to becoming an executive assistant in the future.
Technology is ever changing: just as you master one software program, the next version comes along! To address this, we've added a comprehensive section taught by a technology expert who specializes in online and electronic time management (always one of the highest rated segments of the course). Come learn the ins-and-outs, and tricks of the trade, in programs such as Outlook and Excel – how to effectively organize yourself and your chief using modern technology (a laptop is not required for this portion of the course).
