How a Community of City, County & State Government HR Innovators are Pioneering Out-of-The Box, Private Sector Thinking to Attract, Retain & Inspire the Public Workforce |
Organizations Who Attended in 2024:
WELCOME TO LEAP HR: STATE & LOCAL GOVERNMENT
In its seventh year, the LEAP HR: State & Local Government summit was the most exclusive and senior forum dedicated to uniting HR leaders in all State, City and County Governments in the US.
This was your best opportunity to hear how the most forward-thinking State & Local Government HR leaders are re-strategizing to attract next-generation talent, employ non-monetary total rewards, workforce plan for the great retirement and recruit and retain your all-important public sector workers.
The 2024 summit included 18+ case studies that uncovered how State, City and County governments are rethinking their people strategy to enable them to attract high-volume, next generation talent to be the executives of the future, and to compete with private industry with compensating our valued workforce to maintain a culture of appreciation while operating within the restrictions of the public purse.

Our 2024 Expert Speakers Included:
2024 Highlights:
Uncover how Dunn County introduced a performance management system with merit based increases that rewards employees for their efforts rather than longevity which lead to decreases in employee conflict and hostility and increased productivity, motivation and learning opportunities for staff
Learn how the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority implemented the choice for a more flexible retirement plan, with virtually no extra costs, as a benefit to new hires. Giving them the flexibility, they desire to compete with private industry retirement plans. The new retirement plan has already seen most new employees select the new option, along with improved recruitment for new talent.
Learn how the City of Rancho Cucamonga has eliminated the performance evaluation model and instead is working with employees to focus on their professional development plans, including implementing training for supervisors on how to manage these conversations and provide feedback and coaching. This has led to increased job applicants and should provide improved retention of our Team RC members.
Learn how the State of Missouri employed a digital credentialing system (informed by their quarterly health survey) at a relatively low cost, that received 91% engagement (November 2023) and launched as a Governor’s priority.
Testimonials
I really appreciated the size of the event that provided an opportunity to network with other HR directors from around the country. Additionally, the presentations on best practice and innovations in public sector HR were very relevant to the work I do. Great job. I would definitely recommend this event to my peers locally.
