Who Can Apply
LIA training is geared toward executives and upper level managers who are aspiring to promote within public human service agencies. Applicants must be southern county employees in their respective health and human services agencies and be nominated by their supervisor and agency director.
Since LIA is integrated into each of the county systems, each county has their own unique internal application process. Please contact your respective LIA liaisons (Director’s Secretary) for more information about your county’s application process and deadlines.
