The Local Government Institute was developed to help municipal and local government managers and assistant managers gain the essential skills to lead their teams and support their communities. The eight-course certificate program will be taught by experienced municipal managers and local government experts.
The program is a partnership of UVM Professional and Continuing Education (PACE), the Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT), and the Vermont Town and City Management Association (VTCMA). It is free to qualified applicants thanks to a generous grant from UVM’s Leahy Institute for Rural Partnerships. Travel assistance is available if needed.
“Leading a municipal government requires understanding municipal law, having great people management skills, and having a network of other municipal leaders to call on when you have questions. The Vermont Local Government Institute will provide new managers and administrators, and those aspiring to become a manager or administrator, with the foundational knowledge and relationships to be successful.” Ted Brady, Executive Director, Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT)
