Influential Leadership in Real Time
|
The understanding and application of proper influential leadership skills are necessary for municipal clerks, who are essential representatives of the agencies in which they work. Knowledge of leadership is crucial for clerk leaders to perform essential functions in their agencies. It is also necessary for clerks who are not in leadership positions in their organizations to help them to understand their leaders’ roles and how the clerk’s job duties fit into the big picture of their organization’s functions. Practical leadership skills effectively empower the accomplishment of an organization’s goals.
After completing this course, municipal clerks and leaders will be able to:
- Define the term Influential Leadership.
- Better understand their leadership styles.
- Understand whether leaders are born or made.
- Apply practical Influential Leadership skills in the real world, in real-time, in the workplace today.

Effective Grant Writing for Municipal Clerks
|
This session will serve to demonstrate how grant writing strengthens the capacities of municipalities seeking to raise funds for community work. This course will help municipal clerks identify grant opportunities and the information needed to write and submit a grant proposal. It will equip both new and seasoned clerks with the essential writing strategies necessary to meet funding development goals without the expense of hiring a grant writer.
This presentation will address frequently asked questions and provide “next steps” in developing a plan for implementation and maintenance of funds. After completing this course, municipal clerks will be able to identify grant opportunities, when to pursue grants, and how to complete a grant application.

IIMC staff continues to work daily, ascertaining that we are meeting our members' needs and ensuring there is continuity within the Organization. Staff continues to work full-time via a staggered schedule, splitting its time in the office and remotely as we slowly maneuver our way into having everyone safely back at headquarters. The timetable to return staff safely to a full office schedule is still in flux. Staff's safety and continuous service to our members are paramount. As of this E-Briefing, staff will continue to operate using a staggered schedule until it's safe to return everyone to work.
The Education Department has been working with Institutes and IIMC affiliated online companies to produce webinars and to provide complimentary and discounted online courses. Members who have certification points on file may still schedule appointments in available time slots to discuss reviewed certification applications and points received. Members can easily see the Education Department’s real-time availability and schedule an appointment at https://calendly.com/iimceducation.
The Membership Department continues to be at your service via email or phone calls.
If you have any questions, please contact staff or me. Thank you and stay safe.
