To receive the Certificate of Municipal Leadership, an elected official must complete a workshop in each of the competencies below and complete a total of 30 credits. A minimum of 5 credits in each competency is highly recommended.

  • Roles, responsibilities and legal requirements (R)
  • Public sector resource management (P)
  • Community planning and development (C)
  • Effective local leadership (E)

Starting with the 2011 workshops, courses reflected in an elected official’s record will display which core area was met.
