The 2017 Leadership Forum was a one-of-a-kind communication extravaganza. We had an amazing keynote speaker, a host of incredible presenters, a very talented graphic artist recording the proceedings, and a full complement of delegates joining us from all over the province. Thanks to all of those who made it such an incredible success! We look forward to seeing you all again in 2018 for the final Annual Leadership Forum of the 2014-18 electoral term.
Session materials (where available) are posted below – please feel free to download and make use of these excellent resources. Share your favourite sessions with your fellow council/board members or colleagues. Additional materials will be posted as we receive them from our presenters. Check back soon if you don’t see what you’re looking for.
Stay tuned for 2018 Leadership Forum details and announcements; and in the meantime look for LGLA representatives at your spring Area Association conferences and at this year’s UBCM Convention. And stay in touch! We love hearing from you, and your session topic and other suggestions help us to continue offering timely, relevant learning opportunities for elected officials around the province.
