SCANPO's Guiding Principles and
Best Practices Training Announcement
Year Two of SCANPO’s Preserving the Public Trust Initiative is in full
bloom and the
final version of the Guiding Principles and Best
Practices is here! Also, we are excited to begin offering our new, extensive
training around the 7 Guiding Principles and 67 Best
Practices. Training will be offered in Columbia
and Myrtle Beach.
Please note the following
guidelines for these trainings:
-
There is a session scheduled for each of the 7
Principles in all four locations.
- You
will receive a “Certificate of Attendance” for
each session you attend.
- If
you are unable to attend a session in your area, you may
attend that session in one of the other locations
provided space is available.
- If
you registered for all 7 sessions, you do not have
to send the same person to each session.
- Each
participant will receive one copy of SCANPO’s “Guiding
Principles and Best Practices” publication.
We will
ask registrants to complete and return to SCANPO, prior to
training, a self-assessment of the current level of practice
in their organization. This information is designed to
prepare both you and the facilitator for the training
session. At the end of the training, you will also be
encouraged to complete an action plan, committing to
specific changes/improvements in practices over a period of
time. SCANPO will follow-up with you on your action plan
and will assist with additional tools, mentoring or
training.
Below is
the Schedule of all planned trainings. Click on the date to
register for an individual session.
Keep in mind that space is limited,
so register today!
