APPA Webinar: Strategic Planning for Utility Boards and City Councils
Date: 7/17/2012
Source: American Public Power Association
2:00 – 3:30 p.m. EDT
For 2012, the American Public Power Association is again offering a series of webinars designed for individuals serving on the governing bodies of public power utilities. These webinars were developed primarily for those who are new to public power governance responsibilities. Those who have served for a number of years on public power city councils and/or utility boards, or utility staff who regularly work with utility governing bodies, may also find these sessions worthwhile. The Strategic Planning for Utility Boards and City Councils webinar is part of this series.
Once legal and fiduciary duties are met, among the most important aspects of utility governance are establishing the mission/vision for the organization and setting the utility's direction, usually through the strategic planning process. This webinar will examine one of several approaches to utility strategic planning and explain the board and/or council's roles in that process. More information.
