Webinar: Succession Planning for local Government: The Time to Start is Now

Includes a Live Web Event on 09/04/2025 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

Join PSHRA on September 4th at 1 P.M. ET to learn more about the importance of succession planning.

Succession planning is a powerful tool, but it isn’t solely an HR Department issue, it’s not about pre-selection, and it’s not simply about pumping up your training budget. Succession planning promotes employee engagement and retention, ensures business and leadership continuity, promotes knowledge transfer, and provides skill and career growth opportunities for your staff.

In this webinar, we will look at strategies to maintain strong leadership from the perspective of small, medium and large organizations to ensure that they address all the capabilities employees require for today and tomorrow’s work environment.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Tony Luton, PSHRA-SCP, Human Resources Director, Town of Prosper, TX
  • Dr. Debra Aiken, Human Resources – Training & Development Manager, Denton County, TX

PSHRA® Webinars are a member benefit. Available to non-members for a nominal fee.
