It examines the distinct roles, responsibilities, and relationships that support effective local governance. Participants will learn how elected officials set policy and strategic direction while the professional manager oversees administration and implementation. The course also explores how boards and managers can build productive working relationships grounded in respect, transparency, clear communication, and routine feedback.
