A Leadership Opportunity for Heads of Council |
|
|
|
Mayors and heads of council hold a distinct place in every community: the most visible local leader, the key contact, and the tone-setter for the municipality.
A specialized module from AMO’s Local Leadership Foundations focuses on practical insight for the unique responsibilities of heads of council, from managing difficult meetings to advancing local interests.
Live, interactive sessions informed by experienced municipal leaders help heads of council strengthen their skills and expertise for a successful term ahead.
