LFP Staff attend regional conferences

Lake Forest Park City Administrator Pete Rose attended the ICMA Regional Summit in Portland. ICMA is the International City / County Management Association, headquartered in Washington, D.C.

The highlight was a half-day training based on a video by author and trainer Daniel Pink, author of five books, three of them best-sellers, about business, work, and behavior.

The premise is that in local government work, up to 40 percent of what they do involves persuading via communications. 

Said Rose, "The video plus exercises made several useful points for the Leadership Team to learn and share."

  

Deputy City Clerk JoAnne Trudel and Records Management Specialist Jennifer Martin attended the annual conference of the Washington Municipal Clerks Association on March 17-20, 2015.

They were able to network with fellow clerks, attend training, and receive updates on the latest legislative hot topics.
