State Executive Development Institute

SEDI is an application-based program designed to prepare mid to upper-level state and local government executives to be more effective leaders.

During the weeklong, intensive course, a broad range of topics are delivered by state and local officials, nationally recognized leaders, and Mississippi State University’s premier teaching and research faculty. Curriculum topics include leadership, management theory and skills, conflict resolution, cybersecurity, and other pertinent issues facing our future state leaders. Participants in the class will network with other state executives as well as the Institute faculty and leadership.
