YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Human Resources Department presented a new leadership program to the Yuma County Board of Supervisors Monday.
The Yuma County Governance, Operations and Vision (YUGOV) program is the first of its kind and is designed to help county directors learn how to become strong leaders.
“It’s to help develop the deputy directors and succession planning to learn about county governance, fiscal operations, to really prepare them for the future,” said Nayeli Flores, Human Resources Training Supervisor.
The program is a nine-week course that has been developing for over a year.
YUGOV teaches skills like budget management, legal responsibilities, and interpersonal development, to management level employees.
The program will be facilitated by county leaders from various departments.
Flores explains how this training will benefit the community.
“In developing our leaders, it also develops a strong work force from all levels, so being that having that training and all of those skills, its going to help the customer service and effectiveness of our community,” Flores shared.
The first launch date of the program will be October 15, and Yuma County is excited to see the benefits that come with this learning opportunity.
