Get ready to "Geek Out" with Jessica Sowa!
August 14, 2025 - GO1 Employee Resilience in Government
9:00AM - 2:30PM on Zoom
This course will explore the question of what resilience is at the individual level (in
this case, employee). Why are resilient employees important for local government
today? This course will explore how to talk about resilience with your employees,
how to help them self-assess their resilience (and yours as a manager), and what
government organizations can do to encourage, support, and/or develop the
resilience of employees. Dr. Jessica Sowa is a professor of public policy and
administration in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy & Administration at
the University of Delaware. Her research focuses on public and nonprofit
management, with an emphasis on the management of human resources (HRM) in
government and nonprofit organizations, organizational effectiveness, and
collaboration.

At the CSAC Institute, we focus on delving into public service issues and investigating the
"why," "what," and "how" of concepts that improve leadership practices. We are
fortunate to collaborate with faculty who possess a profound understanding of the
challenges that county executives encounter. Together, we have developed courses that
foster employee resilience, explore the effects of optimism and gratitude, create flexible
solutions in ever-changing environments, and address complex situations using evidence-
based methods.
Registration for the "Geeking Out" series can be by course or as a series at a discounted
rate. More information is below and on our website: www.csacinstitute.counties.org.

Our Next Virtual Course:
August 8, 2025 - 155 Who Am I as a Leader?
9:00AM - 2:30PM on Zoom
The biggest variable in your department’s success
is your leadership. This was true when you first
promoted into a supervisory position and it’s still
true today - although there are a few key
differences. This class will evaluate how your
values, strengths, and mindsets influence how you
show up as a leader – and the results you get.
You’ll define what success looks like for you as a
leader and develop an action plan to help
maximize your effectiveness as an executive
leader. Dr. Jamie Crews is a certified Senior HR
professional with nearly two decades of public
sector HR experience. She specializes in strategic
talent management with an emphasis in leadership and organizational
development. Jamie helped establish the County of Orange’s first Organizational
Development function and now serves as the Director of Learning & Organizational
Development.

Through 50-hours of onsite and virtual instruction, participants dive deep into
leadership concepts, facilitated by nationally recognized faculty and county experts.
Upon successful completion, participants join a statewide network of 1,500 CSAC
