On November 23, 2021, LOGODI held the closing ceremony with a total of 379 local government
officials for the five long-term training programs, including Senior Policy Managers, Senior
Leaders, Junior Leaders, Global Leaders, and Women Leaders.
To cultivate emphatic local leaders who lead innovation and decentralization in the Post-COVID-19
era, for this year, LOGODI designed the programs to achieve three objectives, such as leadership for
the New Normal era, implementation & dissemination of the national tasks, and individual competency
development.
Especially, LOGODI launched the ‘Post-corona Leader's Academy,’ which was composed of Administrative
Innovation and Leadership Innovation track, in preparation for the New-Normal era.
At the graduation ceremony, the trainees shared their experiences of online education. Some reported
feeling more anxious or stressed due to hours of online learning throughout the year.
One said, "It is true that I felt awkward and uncomfortable at the beginning. Compared with the
face-to-face format, fatigue, limitation of networking, missing field trips were regrettable.
However, I am grateful for the opportunity to improve my capacity as a government official through
diverse and worthwhile lectures and activities for ten months."
Mr. Yoon Jong-jin, President of LOGODI, commended the hard work and achievement of the trainees and
said, "I believe that you will play a prominent role as an empathetic leader in developing your
region with thriving and pleasant living environments."
