A leadership development initiative
The Local Government Leadership Academy is a leadership development initiative that serves local government and First Nations elected officials and senior administrators throughout British Columbia by improving the competencies needed to effectively manage and lead BC’s communities.
Thank You Sponsors for your support of the Forum and our CertificationProgram.
LGLA introduced its new Level III Leadership Award at the most recent UBCM Convention. Level III carries an added distinction, and the recipients were honoured with this beautiful crystal award. For more information on the Leadership Certification Program, please visit our Programs page.
The Local Government Leadership Academy’s Leadership Certification Program has ongoing intakes, applications for Level I, Level II and Level III Certification.
A major component of certification is the annual LGLA Forum, where you can obtain 15 credit hours towards certification.
The Annual Vision Guide is a handy tool that visually outlines what opportunities delegates have to procure credit hours towards certification.
