This workshop will enable you to assess and improve your working relationships at the top level of the city's leadership, while still respecting honest differences in opinions, principles and approaches to problems. The workshop will not, however, provide a forum for team members to discuss specific substantive issues before the city. In fact, workshop participants are advised not to engage in such discussions. The sessions are designed to emphasize team -building issues which are of general interest to city officials. Unlike other League conferences, the format of the sessions are not conducive to participation by spouses or guests of attendees. Spouse and guest attendance is discouraged. The minimum number of participants from each city is three (two elected officials and the city manager). Past participating cities have found it best to have the full council participate. The workshop site was selected for its appropriateness to the format of the sessions. The site offers a quiet setting perfect for concentrating on learning and skills building. Because of the nature of the sessions, all who register must commit to arrive on time and stay for the entire session. 1F This workshop is worth 4 credits in the Elected Officials Leadership Academy. Be sure to register early because space is limited. Only advance registration is available for this workshop. January Workshop Registration Deadline: November 30, 1999 "A similar session will be held in Northern California in early June, 2000, announcements will be sent in November.
