Each year, FCCMA holds a full-day “So You Want to Be Session” as part of their annual conference. This webinar is a condensed version of this very beneficial program with a focus on how young professionals and students can prepare themselves to progress in the local government profession. Two relatively young professionals in Florida (both with senior level positions in local government) will serve as panelists for this sure to be insightful webinar session. Jonathan Evans, Haines City City Manager and Brad Johnson, Lakeland Assistant City Manager will share their stories and discuss strategies that have worked for them and describe “lessons learned” in their still relatively early careers. This is a very informal and interactive session so questions from attendees will be encouraged.
If you are a student or young professional that aspires to work in local government management, this is a must session for you. If you are a mid-career or more experienced local government professional, this webinar will be helpful for you as well because of the numerous changes that are occurring in terms of what young people are looking for, how they seek employment, and how best to fill the voids created by the baby boomer retirements. Please join Brad and Jonathan on January 16, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., in this important discussion.
Panelists:
- Jonathan Evans, City Manager, Haines City
