This session will give new and existing elected officials and municipal staff with starting meetings on the right foot, chairing meetings, making motions, dealing with reports, voting procedures, and decorum. The entire day will include real examples from across Nova Scotia, and the best part is that there will be no PowerPoint slides, just interactive discussions. Both Robert’s Rules of Order and Bourinot’s will be discussed. No PowerPoints! This session is designed to be fully interactive, with practical examples and engaging discussions to enhance your learning experience.

By the end of this workshop, you will have learned simple and practical approaches that you can apply to daily communications challenges. It will help you manage responsibilities related to:
