*New Date* Councillor Recruitment, Induction & Retention – December 5th – 10am to 1pm In-person
Due to circumstances beyond our control this event has been postponed, a new date will be advertised shortly.
The opportunities or need for Councillor Recruitment happens far more regularly than we would all like. Apart the obvious full elections which we face once every four years, there will be unfilled vacancies following that election and casual vacancies occurring along the way. It’s hard retaining committed councillors and even harder finding new recruits. This session will help reinvigorate us with practical tips on attracting interest and providing our new councillors with a flying start.
This is a half day training and information session opening with councillor recruitment strategies for success, including successful campaigning and exploring how councils can create an induction programme that has long lasting benefits and ensures councillors are set up to succeed.
- How councils can create an induction programme appropriate to the size, shape and nature of the council
- How to ensure a council’s internal communications culture is set up for long-term success
- How to create a genuinely useful and value-filled Welcome Pack
- How to carry out a Councillor Skills Audit and how that should impact the council’s training programme for 2023 and beyond
- What a really effective buddying and mentoring programme should look and feel like
