2017 LGLA Leadership Forum

Did you attend the 2017 LGLA Leadership Forum? If so, we want to hear from you! Please complete our ONLINE EVALUATION by February 10th.

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.

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. Send your comments/questions/suggestions to info@lgla.ca.
