Every city and county manager and department head faces daily challenges and every so often a mini crisis that tests their wits and experience. However, some local government managers, when they least expect it, are confronted with a “major crisis” that brings international attention to their agency and the manager is thrust into the middle of the controversy. Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr. faced such a crisis in the Zimmerman case this past year. Mr. Bonaparte has agreed to present and facilitate an informative session on lessons learned from the situation he has encountered. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn first hand about some of today’s challenges when you become an international focus and be prepared to participate in what is certain to be an informative discussion on this topic.
