PD Session #5
All session resources are now in the member resources section.
Education Session – Post-Election Alignment: Beyond the MGA Requirements“Political/administrative alignment is critical to a successful start after the fall elections. Unfortunately, this relationship can be vulnerable to role confusion, unclear expectations, poor strategic direction, and/or lack of mutual confidence. Join colleagues for a rapid sharing of good, bad and ugly aspects of elected official orientation programs. Over the 5 regional sessions we will develop a checklist to ensure your readiness.” Gord McIntosh
