New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli has established the Local Government Leadership Institute to develop fiscal and management expertise and to provide information and guidance to local government officials.

The Institute will conduct inaugural workshops in partnership with Hofstra and Cornell Universities.

The Institute will offer practical training to help local officials manage and keep local government running effectively by bringing together elected and appointed local officials from all levels of local government in a series of seminars focused on issues of regional concern with a concentration on key leadership principles.

Through panel discussions and interactive case studies, the 2009 Institute will focus on the following topic areas:

1. Comprehensive Planning for Local Governments and School Districts: Strategically Planning for the Future;

2. Thinking Regionally, Acting Locally: How to Develop and Leverage Public and Private Partnerships for Community Development;

3. Municipal Shared Services: How Do I Know if Entering Into a Shared Services Agreement Will Be Effective?;

4. Fiscal Difficulties and Economic Underperformance: What Inter-governmental Cooperation Can Do To Help Our Regions Address These Critical Issues;

5. Leveraging Colleges, Universities, and BOCES as Engines for Development; and

6. Achieving Greener Communities through Civic, Private and Government Sector Innovation.
