Education

AWC puts a high priority on practical training for elected officials and city staff. Our conferences and workshops help you meet your city’s day-to-day challenges, while improving the leadership skill that are so critical for effective community leadership.

With AWC’s extensive training program, you can choose from basic sessions that are offered every year like municipal budgeting and fiscal management or explore cutting edge issues like social media. You also have the opportunity to train from your own desk with our webinars. Go to AWC Training Events for a complete listing of all our sessions.

Make your training go farther

It's all about tools and techniques you can use at home. AWC knows that training and travel budgets are tight. If you can’t make a workshop, check out our on-line training materials and archived webinars.

Mayors and councilmembers who attend selected AWC workshops and conferences can earn credits towards the association’s Certificate of Municipal Leadership.
