Upcoming courses will be offered in Nisku and Camrose
The Elected Officials Education Program (EOEP), a joint venture of the RMA and AUMA, is Alberta’s only professional education program designed for municipally elected officials.
The EOEP is offering two supplementary courses this spring. Course details and registration information for each is as follows:
Council’s Role in Strategic Planning
When: Friday, May 25, 2018
Where: RMA Office (2510 Sparrow Drive, Nisku, AB)
Cost: $340 plus GST
To register: Click here
Course Overview: The role of elected officials is to lead. They determine the long-term goals and priorities of their municipality. Doing this effectively takes skill, and an understanding of how to separate the day-to-day from the big picture. The EOEP’s Council’s Role in Strategic Planning course will explain the important role that strategic planning plays in building municipal sustainability, how councils can work together to set realistic goals, the basic elements of a strategic plan, how to set and asses strategic priorities, the roles of council and staff in strategic planning, and other information that will support you and your municipality in planning strategically for both the short- and long-term.
Regional Partnerships and Collaboration
When: Monday, June 11, 2018
Where: Camrose Resort Casino – Regal Ballroom
Cost: $340 plus GST
To register: Click here
Course Overview: In life, and in the municipal world, working with your neighbours is not always easy. If done right, it can provide major benefits. The EOEP’s Regional Partnerships and Collaboration course will provide participants with an opportunity to learn about approaches municipalities can take to build meaningful partnerships with their municipal neighbours in a way that is fair and mutually beneficial.
If you’re interested in how your municipality can transform collaboration from a requirement to an opportunity, sign up for Regional Partnerships and Collaboration to learn from experts in the field, as well as from your elected official colleagues.
