Are you thinking of running in this year’s Local Government election in October? Murrindindi Shire Council, together with the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) is holding an online Candidate Information Workshop from 5.30 – 7.30 pm on Friday 17 July 2020.
The purpose of the session is to prepare community members with the skills, knowledge and connections required to be successful leaders in our community.
Council’s CEO Craig Lloyd said community members interested in running as a candidate in the 2020 Local Government election should attend the Workshop.
‘The Workshop is designed to educate community members about the role of Council and how Council elections work. Together with VLGA, we want to provide quality information and resources to potential candidates about local government, including the roles and responsibilities of councillors and current issues facing local government.
‘The Workshop will also assist candidates with the business of getting elected to local government, including offering advice on how to connect with the community and discussing key skills and campaign techniques that will help you on your journey from community member to candidate – and possibly even to councillor!
‘Ultimately, we hope that this Workshop can both encourage and attract high quality candidates who are in tune with community needs to stand for the important role of councillor. If you feel you have a contribution to make to our Shire, please attend this workshop to learn more’, Mr Lloyd added.
