Would you like to be more effective in your local board service? Do you want to make sure you and your board are following the law? The Powder River County Commission is sponsoring a Board Leadership training for all members of county and local boards on Thursday, May 19th, at 2:00 p.m., at the Community Center in Broadus.

“High functioning local government depends on effective, locally appointed and elected board members,” explained Dan Clark, Montana State University Extension’s Local Government Center, and training presenter. Participants will learn how to be an effective board member and provide essential leadership in the community.

Potential topics of the training may include principles of good governance, roles and responsibilities of board members and trustees, Montana open meeting laws, Montana Citizens Right to Participate Laws, executive session or closing a meeting, board member liability, effective meetings and Montana’s Code of Ethics.
