NALC's new Leadership Academy to help build the skills of Parish and Town Council leaders

3:07pm Thursday, 25th June 2009

NALC have been one of our key partners on a number of recent projects to help strengthen the role of local councillors.

They've now set up a Leadership Academy to help Mayors, Chairs and Councillors to:

increase their knowledge of personal and organisation leadership theory
develop their understanding of how these can be applied to their work as Parish or Town Councillors
enable them to develop skills in action planning for their communities
broaden their perspective of the sector's role in the wider government empowerment and democracy agendas
encourage networking with other like minded leaders across the sector, learning lessons and sharing best practice

The Leadership Academy has been set up following a successful pilot in 2008 and is the only national course of its kind aimed specifically at Parish and Town (local) Councillors, Chairs and Mayors.
