SUMMARY:Free Webinar - Managing Complaints\, Service Requests and Job Tracking
DESCRIPTION:Digital Government for Smaller Municipalities \nIn this webinar we will look at digital government through the lens of complaints\, service requests and  job management processes by reviewing potential tools. We will define digital government by framing it around the real experiences of smaller municipalities \nDigital Government does not need to start with citizen apps and a new website\, the recommendation is to start from the inside: create a better process\, provide tools with automation built-in to lessen the workload\, ensure everyone is empowered to be a citizen service leader. \nWhen you leave this webinar\, you will have: \n\nA better understanding of what digital government can look like for your municipality\nA list of free and low-cost tools/systems that can help you as you work towards the implementation of digital government in your community\nA strong understanding of the benefits of a better complaints and service request process\n\nAs part of the presentation everyone will receive a template for creating a citizen complaints policy document. The template takes about 15 minutes to fill and creates a professional\, multi-page policy document to use as a reference for all staff which will also satisfy the requirements of the ombudsman’s offices at the provincial and federal levels. \nBrad Pinch AccessE11 – Director of Municipal Needs \nOrganizer of Solutions: Digital Government for Smaller Municipalities \nRegister here \nVisit our Website

SUMMARY:The Changing Landscape of Municipal Investment Powers
DESCRIPTION:COMPLIMENTARY WEBINAR \nThe Province of Ontario recently made significant changes to municipal legislation and regulations with respect to investment powers for Ontario municipalities.  Section 418.1\, which has recently come into effect\, provides authority for municipalities to invest funds not required immediately using the prudent investor standard (PI) rather than the more restrictive “legal list” approach of the past.  A new section to the eligible investment regulation (Part II) provides details in the PI standard\, who can access it\, what you need to do to have it apply and what governance structures must be in place.  At the same time that these changes were made\, regulatory amendments were also made to the regulation (Part I) with respect to pre-existing investment powers. \nJoin us as we discuss the changes to investment powers that will affect you.  \nDate: Wednesday\, March 21 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm  \nClick here to Register

SUMMARY:Develop Your Assertive Voice
DESCRIPTION:Develop Your Assertive Voice – Half-day Workshop on Wednesday\, November 29th \nAssertiveness and self-confidence are crucial for success in life and in business.  It will mean the difference between feeling energized and feeling confident to take on day-to-day challenges\,  and feeling low self-worth\, diminished confidence and challenges when communicating with others.  This can cause one to experience many cascading challenges\, especially in the workplace and manifest in other ways such as: absenteeism\, depression and physical illnesses.  \nThat said\, given an opportunity to explore what assertiveness is\, how to recognize one’s own strengths and start to gain self-confidence\, can be the first steps to building on these skills and behaviours. \nRegister or learn more at: http://www.sparkyourvitality.com/product/develop-your-assertive-voice/ \n
