Faced with ever-changing laws and regulations, budget constraints, employment issues and a variety of other demands related to municipal government, local officials need to continually reinforce their knowledge base. Presented by New Hampshire Local Government Center’s Legal Services Attorneys, the Local Officials Workshops provide newly elected and experienced local officials with the information required to effectively serve their communities. Each participant will receive the latest edition of Knowing the Territory: A Survey of Municipal Law for New Hampshire Local Officials, revised annually to reflect the latest statutory changes and Supreme Court decisions.
The Local Officials Workshops offer an important educational opportunity for selectmen, town councilors and town managers, administrators and administrative assistants as well as other members of New Hampshire Local Government Center. These full-day workshops are offered in two parts, which can be taken in any order, and local officials are encouraged to attend both sessions for a thorough review of New Hampshire municipal law.
