Representative Jane Gillette Selected for Leadership Program

Representative Jane Gillette was selected to participate in the 2024 Emerging Legislative Leaders Program, sponsored by the State Legislative Leaders Foundation and held at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.
This prestigious program is held every year at the Darden School of Business on the campus of the University of Virginia for a select group of state legislators who have been nominated by the Speaker of the House, President of the Senate or Minority Leader from their state. Leaders are asked to nominate one or more members who by their actions have demonstrated those qualities we associate with leadership—integrity, compassion, intelligence, vision, and common sense.
The goal of this program is to inspire these men and women to continue careers in public service. Class discussions will examine qualities and characteristics of leadership including:
ethical leadership, the art of compromise and coalition building, and the philosophical underpinnings of representative democracy. The discussions will be led by a team of distinguished Darden School of Business professors, including Jared D. Harris, Ph.D. and Gregory Fairchild, Ph.D. Dr. Thomas Little, Curriculum Director of the State Legislative Leaders Foundation, will join the Darden faculty.
Representative Gillette is one of only fifty state legislators chosen from a nationwide pool of nearly 200 outstanding nominees.
As Stephen G. Lakis, President of the State Legislative Leaders Foundation, has noted “These legislators represent the best in our legislative institutions, and are destined for future leadership roles in their state. Spending time with these up-and-coming leaders renews my confidence in our country’s great democratic experiment.”
