As part of your membership, your Council has access to a variety of training courses. WSALC CEO, Trevor Leggo, offers new/refresher councillor training (which includes chair training) at no additional cost. These currently take place on Zoom throughout the year. If your Council would like face to face training then this can also be arranged; please contact Emily for further details.
Also included within your membership, we can help your Council with creating a business plan. You will have access to the CEO in person on two evenings to assist with preparation and follow up. Please contact Emily for more details.
