The principles that have sustained 250 years of American democracy are the same ones that show up in county government every day: trust, accountability, and communication. This fall, the CSAC Institute’s Geeking Out series brings three nationally recognized scholars to explore each one with depth, rigor, and real-world relevance.
- GO5 | Trust: Why it Matters and What Experiments Can Teach Us About Restoring It, with Ben Ho, PhD | 8/14/26, 9:00 am – 2:30 pm PST
- GO6 | When Good Employees Do Bad Things, with Galia Cohen, PhD | 9/25/26, 9:00 am – 2:30 pm PST
- GO7 | How County Leaders Win Us Over: 13 Proven Tactics for Inspiring and Influencing Others, with Ulrich Jenson, PhD | 10/9/26, 9:00 am – 2:30 pm PST
The Geeking Out series is available at a discounted rate of $600 when registered as a complete series. You may choose a single course that speaks most to where you are right now in your work right now.
