CAMBRIDGE, MA – Karen Yarbrough,
Representative for the State of
Illinois, completed the Program for
Senior Executives in State and Local
Government on July 27, 2007.
This Executive Education program,
offered at the Kennedy School of
Government is a three-week course
which focuses on the development of
conceptual frameworks for addressing
policy issues, explores the
relationship between citizens and
their government, and examines the
ethical and professional
responsibilities of leadership.
"We
are proud of the leaders who attend
our Executive Education programs.
They are a dedicated group of
professionals who are committed to
working for the public good across
various sectors of society," said
Kennedy School Dean David Ellwood.
"We are confident that they will
help create effective solutions to
public challenges and inspire others
with their ideas and their talent."
"This
class of participants was chosen
through a highly competitive
application process," said Linda
Kaboolian, Program Faculty Chair.
They were a tremendously diverse
group who brought a wide range of
geographic, political, and
cross-sector perspectives to the
class. They experienced an
intensive and challenging program
that encouraged them to stretch
beyond the boundaries of their
everyday work environments and
formed a network of lasting
friendships and professional
connections.
The
John F. Kennedy School of Government
is the graduate professional school
at Harvard University dedicated to
training people for excellence in
government and public service.
The School has emerged as a forum
for passionate debate about the
past, present, and future of public
service and governance.
Executive Education programs at the
Kennedy School serve senior public
officials, nonprofit executives, and
corporate officers whose work
directly affects the lives of their
fellow citizens. Our mission
