Ontario East Municipal Conference 2017 -
Highlights
OEMC is featuring not one but two sessions on Succession Planning, one for municipalities and one for businesses:
Human Capital Management for Municipalities - The Need for Succession Planning
Wednesday, September 13th
11:30am - 12:30pm
Speaker:
David A. Stewart, Treasurer, Municipality of Hastings Highlands
Municipal decision makers in smaller municipalities have discussed the need for information on how to plan, manage and implement succession plans. More importantly, there seems to be a growing demand for information and tangible recommendations on how smaller municipalities can devise a plan of action to better manage human capital and address future capacity needs.
Business Succession Planning - Should Municipal Economic Development Staff Be Paying Attention?
Wednesday, September 13th
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Speakers:
Alison Anderson, SuccessionMatching.com
Laura-Lee Brenneman, Business Development Bank of Canada
Norman Ragetlie, Rural Ontario Institute
The increasing focus on business retention and expansion in the portfolio of municipal economic development over the last 15 years has been remarkable and significant. It is one of the reasons many rural, small municipalities began to get involved in economic development. Nonetheless, many EDOs are still pressed to explain to Councillors why they should be spending time on existing businesses rather than recruiting new ones to the community. Is it also a stretch for some to accept that municipalities may have a role in creating an environment that facilitates successful local business succession? What might that involve? This session explores that idea from several points of view - the business owner/potential investor and the financial institutions that are often critical to the process.
