Recruiting and retaining councillors
It is increasingly challenging to find people who are willing to put their names forward either at election time or to be co-opted.
This session focuses on how to effectively connect with your community to spark interest in serving as a councillor.
You'll learn strategies to raise awareness about the vital role of the council and its councillors, build relationships with key stakeholders, and inspire people to get involved.
By the end of the session, you'll have practical tools to promote the work of the council, highlight the role, benefits and rewards of being a councillor, and encourage a more diverse pool of people to consider stepping forward.

We also work with and support more than 25 County Associations of Local Councils by providing council communications and compliance training to their member councils on a range of communications and compliance subjects.
