Training and Facilitation
Local governments seeking effective results from their policies and actions need a sense of organization and informed decision making. This means doing strategic planning and making time to routinely educate and train the elected and appointed personnel involved.
Our commitment is to help our member governments achieve optimal performance, so the GMRC is available to assist in the preparation and production of forums designed to improve the awareness and capability of local staff or officials.
