In 2005 LSMI moved to the University of Southern California State Capital Center in Sacramento and California State University Sacramento. USC's School of Policy, Planning, and Development maintains a satellite campus in midtown Sacramento, close to the State Capitol.
The Premier Legislative Staff Training Program in the Nation!
Effective legislatures are essential to democratic governance. USC and the Center for California Studies at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) offers a world-class program reflecting the quality of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ longstanding leadership in offering the highest level of excellence and professionalism in supporting legislatures throughout the country. The LSMI program developed by USC and CSUS focuses on practical application of concepts and tools that legislative staff can use to meet the increasingly complex policy and management demands characterizing state legislatures throughout the country.
USC State Capital Center
1800 I Street
Sacramento, California
This program is intended for both senior-level legislative staff as well as staffers on their way to such positions from throughout the country. Acceptance into the program is competitive as the program size is limited.
$1,950 per participant, which includes a seven-night (7) stay at the four-star Sheraton Grand Hotel Sacramento; catered meals, field trips, materials, and eight days of high level faculty. Participants pay significantly less than the actual costs because of generous contributions from the NCSL Foundation, plus the Morris Smith and Union Pacific Foundation, USC, and Sacramento State.
The USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development and the CSUS Center for California Studies are proud to cosponsor this world-class, management and leadership skills development program that reflects NCSL’s longstanding tradition of offering the highest level of excellence and professionalism in legislature support from throughout the country.
The program is delivered by outstanding faculty and trainers with extensive professional experience and research-based knowledge on effective management processes, leadership practices, and the legislative institution from throughout the country. The curriculum design and delivery emphasizes learning by doing, with practical application of skills for effective communication, team building, negotiation, legislative staff and enduring professional relationships connected by core values.
The LSMI Program developed by USC and CCS focuses on practical application of concepts and tools that legislative staff can use to meet the increasingly complex policy and management demands that confront American state legislatures throughout the country. The curriculum has five major components:
1) Interactive Seminars
USC and CCS programs are interactive seminars, designed for skill building and development of management and leadership processes that can be taken from the class room into the legislative environment.
The facilitators include members of the design team, as well as other nationally and internationally experienced trainers with extensive professional experience. An overall facilitator will introduce each program, provide an overview of the goals, and link each presentation to the program as a whole.
Each morning begins with participant reflections on their experiences and learning surprises from the previous day. This facilitated discussion provides participants with the leadership exercise of creating shared meaning and starts each day with group interaction.
The seminars include opportunities for the participants to practice specific management processes. Experienced faculty will place these management practices in the context of the legislative institution. The faculty are experienced professionals who can draw on years of work in state legislatures throughout the country.
A distinguishing feature of successful leaders is the use of varied processes to develop consensus, involve employees and constituencies, and create a shared vision. To this end, effective training provides applied knowledge of processes and content at different levels including individual skills, group process, organizational aspects and legislative context.
The conference emphasizes action-based learning to assure involvement of participants, to encourage interaction outside of formal classroom sessions, and to reinforce and extend understanding of key concepts and issues.
2) Distance Learning
A Web-based class management tool provides three major benefits:
- Before--Connecting participants before and after the residential session.
- During--Sharing of expectations prior to and after the conference.
- After--Facilitating use of online communication as a management skill.
3) Legislative Content
The program draws on professionals with considerable legislative experience. These professionals have teaching and presentation expertise and extend discussions to legislative issues from throughout the United States. Several presenters are former elected leaders who worked on strengthening staff professionalism within their legislatures.
4) Management Processes
The management process pieces are presented each day. The faculty draws on public and private sector experience to promote best practices and identify research findings. The emphasis is on the discussion, practice and application of skills important to effective management and leadership. The sessions are highly interactive and include the following:
- An assessment tool (LEA) that you will ask five of your colleagues or staff to fill out before the Institute begins.
- Classroom simulation exercises on group processes, organizational learning, trust building and communication.
- A personal assessment (DISC) of your decision making style.
5) Outside Activities
The program will begin with a session at the California State University, Sacramento Aquatic Center. This program provides activities that are not physically stressful but provide for team challenges that reinforce lessons learned in the classroom. A mid-week session on characteristics of high performing teams is scheduled off-site along the American River.
The program includes a private tour of the California State Capitol, with a special focus on security, and relaxing educational, social and cultural activities in San Francisco and Sacramento.
Participants
The LSMI curriculum is designed for both senior legislative staff members plus those on their way to such positions. The curriculum is demanding and the admissions committee (the USC and Sacramento State Directors) seeks senior and up-and-coming staffers who can benefit most from a challenging practical and academic experience. Acceptance into the program is competitive.
Appropriate candidates include partisan and non-partisan staff who currently hold critical management positions or are likely to in the future. Essential qualities for any participant are a commitment to public service in a legislature and an aptitude for the challenges which LSMI offers.
Admissions
Applications can be received starting March 3, 2008. The postmark deadline for applications has been extended tos May 5, 2008. All application material should be sent to:

California State University, Sacramento
6000 J Street
Sacramento, California 95819-6081

hodsonta@csus.edu
A candidate's admission will be determined by the nature of his or her current responsibilities, accomplishments, challenges faced, and potential for future public policy contributions. Candidates will be notified of their acceptance approximately two weeks after the application deadline.
Since the sharing of experience is critical to the LSMI's objectives, participants will be chosen to include a diversity of backgrounds, geographical regions, and varieties of legislatures. If several well-qualified applicants have very similar backgrounds, one or more of them may be deferred to a future class.
