Who Is Ready to Lead Your Agency Next?

Retirements are accelerating, experienced leaders are moving on, and high-potential employees are being asked to step into greater responsibility. The question is no longer whether your agency needs a leadership pipeline. The question is whether your emerging leaders will be ready when the opportunity arrives.

Join IEPSHRA on September 9, 2026 from 2:00 - 3:30 pm for Build Your Agency’s Internal Leadership Pipeline: From High-Potential Talent to Promotion-Ready Leaders, an engaging webinar featuring nationally recognized leadership and communication expert Alexia Vernon.

Alexia is the founder and CEO of Step into Your Moxie, where she helps organizations develop influential leaders who communicate with clarity, credibility, and confidence. Named a Moxie Maven by the White House Office of Public Engagement, she has created leadership programs for public agencies and Fortune 500 companies, spoken at the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and been featured by CNN, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, and other leading media outlets.

She is also the author of Step into Your Moxie, a practical call to action for speaking up and communicating with greater candor, clarity, compassion, and confidence.

During this highly experiential session, participants will discover how to:

• Move beyond traditional succession planning and develop true leadership readiness

• Address behaviors that undermine trust, maturity, and operational effectiveness

• Prepare leaders to communicate successfully with employees, executives, community members, partner agencies, and the media

• Build executive presence as a practical, learnable leadership skill

Strong leadership pipelines do not happen by accident. They are built through intentional development, honest feedback, and opportunities to practice leading before the title changes.
