Building the foundation for effective meetings and strong local governance begins long before a meeting is called to order and extends far beyond the preparation of agendas and minutes. This webinar explores the clerk's role in establishing the structures, processes, and practices that support transparent, accountable, and procedurally sound council and committee meetings.

Learning Objectives

  • Examine practical approaches to agenda development, minute-taking, meeting management, and supporting chairs, council members, and committee members in fulfilling their governance responsibilities. 
  • Understand strategies for navigating complex or contentious meetings, managing public participation, and maintaining public confidence in the decision-making process.
  • Come away with new, practical tools, frameworks, and best practices to strengthen your meeting administration and governance foundations.

Join us for this timely session post-elections to establish effective meetings and good governance built to last throughout the entire council term.
