Center for
Florida
Local Government Excellence (CFLGE) 2008-2009 FCCMA District
Training
One of the components for the 2007-2009 Program
of Work for CFLGE is development of local government training in
each FCCMA District. The training is being scheduled in half and
full-day increments in city and county facilities in each district
and the topics are selected by FCCMA members. The purpose is
threefold: reduce travel training costs for local government
participants, eliminate training facility overhead costs, and
provide a forum for local government administrators and staff to
obtain “hands on” training on current and pending local government
issues.
Training Schedule

Fort Walton Beach Library, 1285 Miracle Strip Parkway, S.W.,

CFLGE is subsidizing most of the training costs
through its financial partners. There is expected to be some charge
for lunch and some travel and set-up expenses. Sessions, whether
half or full-day, are not expected to exceed $50 per participant. If
a special speaker is requested, that cost could be increased.
CFLGE continues to seek local government
professionals who have been successful in any of the topics
referenced in this document and who are willing to participate on a
panel, make a presentation, or refer training facilitators who have
valuable expertise in one or more of these areas. Interested
participants can contact Bob Lee at
rlee@cflge.org or at
relee2@fsu.edu.
