Munis 101 dates announced by Rural Municipali­ties of Alberta

-

The Elected Officials Education Program (EOEP) is excited to announce dates for upcoming Munis 101 sessions. Munis 101 is developed and delivered with the support of Municipal Affairs to help municipali­ties fulfill the Municipal Government Act requiremen­t to provide orientatio­n following the municipal election. While the course is oriented for elected officials, CAOs are welcome to take the course so they are aware what is being covered and can provide supplement­al orientatio­n on any municipal specific informatio­n. Registrati­on will open in the coming months at a rate of $375 per person for these in-person sessions.

The course covers the essential informatio­n councilors need to know to be effective municipal leaders and is a necessary step towards receiving a Municipal Elected Leaders Certificat­e (MELC).

Two virtual sessions are being offered to summer villages in September, with in person offerings for all municipali­ties being offered beginning in November:

• November 15 and 16, Edmonton (in coordinati­on with AUMA convention)

• November 22 and 23, Edmonton (in coordinati­on with RMA convention)

• December 2 and 3, Lethbridge

• December 6 and 7, Strathmore

• December 9 and 10, Three Hills Registrati­on and details on specific locations and times will be coming soon. These sessions are intended to be run during normal business hours. Please use these dates to begin planning for training for new and returning elected officials alike.
