Converge
Summits
A Symposium on Leadership and Culture for Public Safety Professionals
What Is Converge?
Converge is a 2-day results-focused symposium focused on the following:
- Investing in leadership training at all levels (sworn and non-sworn)
- Intentionally designing organizational culture
- Succession planning
Converge works best when teams come together, regardless of rank, expertise, or role, and focus on developing leadership and an ACTIONABLE culture people understand and can get behind.
You and your community deserve an agency that has extraordinary culture and leaders who are in it for the long haul, this symposium will help you achieve that.
What Will Converge Provide You and Your Agency?
Leadership Training For All Levels
An Actionable Plan for Company Culture
Help In Succession Planning For Talent
Be THE Agency Everyone Wants To Work For
More and more staff are leaving organizations today for comparable roles where pay is not the primary deciding factor, culture is. People stay where they are valued and invested in.
If you want to be THE agency everyone wants to work for, we believe you must invest in your leadership at every level (sworn and non sworn), design a culture that your people deserve, and cement your legacy by succession planning for talent, not title.

The Transitional Leader: The Art of Multi-Directional Leadership (supervisors). Learn more.
In most organizations the leaders “in the middle” often face unique

This course provides practical tools that will help supervisors discover the art of leading in a multi-directional environment, foster collaboration, building resilient teams, and utilize influence to achieve collective goals.

first organization, developing a leadership team, how not to be “that” boss, and unintended
consequences: why words matter.

Extraordinary Culture Through Intentional Design
Today is the day that everyone from all levels of your agency “converge” to intentionally design a culture that employees and the community deserve.
