New Course
Giving Council a Piece of Your Mind: Writing Reports That Work
March 12
Instructor: Ann McAfee
This course is a practical course on writing reports. Many council reports are standardized; staff are able to refer to past examples and municipal formats. By contrast, policy reports are frequently “one-offs.” This course focuses on these policy reports. It addresses the challenges of assembling strategic directions, incorporating public input, conveying options and framing recommendations.
