Member Development Programme 2016/17 - dates for the diary Please find attached the new Member Development Programme for 2016/17.
A new addition to the programme this year is the introduction of Member Development Days every month (after August). Please block these dates out in your diaries as they will be used for briefings or workshops on key issues that arise throughout the year or for training/development sessions specifically requested by Members.
Information on upcoming sessions as part of the Programme will be promoted via the Weekly Bulletin - may I ask that all Members look through the Programme and inform anyone from the Democratic Services Team if they are interested in attending. Some sessions are extended to Parish Councillors/Clerks, so please also encourage their attendance.
Should you require any further information on the Programme please contact Graham Watts, Democratic Services Team Leader, at graham.watts@scambs.gov.uk or (01954) 713030. |
