About the Session
Municipal meetings are where leadership is tested, and where credibility is built.
As municipalities navigate fiscal pressure and increased expectations, the way councils conduct their meetings plays a critical role in demonstrating leadership, accountability, and readiness to partner.
This full-day, interactive session will equip elected officials with practical tools to:
- Strengthen meeting structure and decision discipline
- Clarify roles and reduce common friction points
- Manage tone and difficult moments under pressure
- Use council meetings as visible demonstrations of professionalism and preparedness
Through real-world scenarios, structured exercises, and peer discussion, participants will leave with concrete strategies they can apply immediately in their next meeting.
Presenters:
Kristan Hines – Senior Vice-President, Corporate & Public Affairs, NATIONAL Public Relations
Erin Norwood MacLeod – Associate Vice-President, Public Affairs, NATIONAL Public Relations
