In the two months that have passed since completing the LGA's Newly Elected Officals Course, I have found several occassions when I draw on information that was provided. The curriculum was relevant, well designed and presented concisely in a compressed timeframe. It gave me a foundation and will help me develop my understanding and performance of my Council position. Though the course didn't give us all the answers - more importantly, it taught and encouraged us to ask the right questions. The experience was invaluable.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... the way that I consider issues that come before our council for deliberation.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... the opportunity to learn among peers and make connections that I hope will develop into collaborations in the future.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... knowledgable, organized, enthusiastic and comitted to making this a terrific program.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... change the face of government in our region even more!
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... I had the ability to pick up the two programs I missed due to a conflict.
- If I ran this organization, I would... thank my lucky stars for Susan and her great staff!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... the same as other non-profits - sustaining funding sources.
- One thing I'd also say is that... the course offerings are great and I expect to take other classes and encourage my fellow councilmen to consdier them. I would like to stay connected and participate with LGA programs in other ways too.
MY ROLE: I was a Client Served & Attended LGA classes as a newly elected Councilmember.
