AGENDA:
General SessionThe 2008 keynote address will motivate and inspire as we focus on CCM's
Town Hall University theme to learn new skills, develop relationships,
and grow personally and professionally in our communities. Be sure to
attend this informative session!
Municipal ShowcaseIt's Easy Being Green!
The 2008 CCM's Municipal Showcase will feature a
diverse array of "going green" initiatives. Stop by to see
the creative ways municipalities are saving money while
protecting the environment. Big or small, these
changes, as simple as establishing town recycling
programs, selling re-usable tote bags at the town hall,
or using environmentally-friendly cleaning products will
be on display. Big initiatives in the "going green"
efforts, such as installing solar panels in municipal
buildings and schools, will also be represented. Plan on
visiting the It's Easy Being Green! Municipal Showcase
and bring back some great, cost-effective ideas for
your community.
WORKSHOPS
A program of 20 workshops will
address broad-ranging topics
for every level of municipal
government — from department
heads, to board & commission
members, to elected officials
and CEOs.
