Learn the basics of governing a city.

The Elected Leaders Institute Foundational Program is designed to provide elected leaders with the nuts and bolts of city leadership. The program is driven by 10 core competencies that make elected leaders successful, perfect for anyone new to elected office or leaders who wish to brush up on the basics.  

During this program, you will become familiar with your new responsibilities via a combination of online, on-demand courses ahead of a two-day in-person program. Learn, network and sharpen your skills during the Elected Leaders Institute! 

Who should attend?

The Foundational Program is designed for newly elected city officials who have served for less than two years. We will cover the fundamentals of governing a city. 

If you are a more experienced elected official, or if you have attended the Foundational program before, the Advanced Program may be a better fit.
