Representative Frazier Selected for Leadership Program
Representative Cedrick Frazier was selected to participate in the 2022 Emerging Legislative Leaders Program, sponsored by the State Legislative Leaders Foundation and held at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.
Representative Frazier is one of only fifty state legislators chosen from a nationwide pool of nearly 200 outstanding nominees.
Rep. Cedrick Frazier released the following statement about the program; “I was honored that Speaker Melissa Hortman tagged me for this opportunity. I am committed to a new, tenacious, and ethical type of leadership, and this program helped me solidify this vision as well as build skills to work with everyone to attain it. I want to work to be the best possible leader for our district, and for Minnesota.”
This prestigious program is held every year 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 legislators to continue careers in excellent public service. Class discussions examined qualities and characteristics of leadership including: ethical leadership, the art of compromise and coalition building, and the philosophical underpinnings of representative democracy.
