The California Permit Streamlining Academy is a competitive opportunity for jurisdictional executives and staff to participate in a training and professional consultation process. The application packet should demonstrate executive commitment, staff participation, and the jurisdiction’s ability to implement measurable process improvements. This approach will help ensure the training yields practical, measurable improvements within each participating jurisdiction.
We are not looking for the best jurisdiction; we are looking for those that need help and can move the needle in their city or county with this training. View the program agenda for Cohort 1 for more information about the training.
Cost and Stipend for Training and Cohort Participation:
Jurisdictions that are chosen to participate in a cohort will pay a registration fee of $500 per team member, non-refundable to cover the cost of food, facility rental, parking, etc.
