Wednesday 11th June 2008, QAG Conference Centre, London

Welcome to the Leadership in a Political Environment Conference website and online booking system. The conference is being held in Central London on 11th June 2008.

Successful leadership in local government requires an intimate understanding of the political environment. The political environment includes everything from party policy and the dynamics of the election cycle and the role of purdah, to the interests and ambitions of political different groups and individuals. High performing authorities rely on a successful relationship between members and officers in which each other’s roles are accepted and understood. Maintaining this relationship as the challenges faced change continually is one of the essential dynamics in local government leadership.

This conference for elected members and officers will help you understand these roles in the context of the changing challenges faced by local government and will equip you to lead better. This will be particularly important for people facing elections where purdah is very important.
