Recruiting and Retaining a More Diverse Pool of Councillors
Course Description
How can you find and encourage a more diverse pool of people to stand or be co-opted as town or parish councillors? It is increasingly hard to find people who are willing to put their names forward either at election time or to be co-opted.
We explore effective ways councils and councillors can engage people over time, building up their awareness and interest in the work of the council, in order to better promote and demystify the role of a councillor.
This is an interactive course
and offers the opportunity to network with Clerks, Officers and Councillors from Councils across England and Wales to share best practice and ideas.
Please note : the course is open to all county associations and will therefore have clerks and councillors not from Northamptonshire in attendance. We hope that this will allow for this course to be delivered more often throughout the year.
When booking onto this course, the details that you provide will be used to book you onto a third party website where you will receive a booking confirmation. Your details will only be used for the purposes of sending joining instructions.
