Off to a Flying Start Part 1

As a new councillor, you want to do a great job for your community and in doing so, you will want to do things right – come along to find out about your role, duties and responsibilities as a councillor and those of the council that you are member of. The session is specifically aimed at new councillors but is also suited to councillors that have completed training previously and would like to refresh their knowledge.

Only book onto this session if you are booking Part 2.

Registration

Please ensure that you:

• have the approval of the council to attend YLCA training.
• register well in advance to secure your place (some sessions fill up very quickly) and ensure the e-mail address provided is accurate when registering.

For all webinar training, please:

• Include the name of the council so that an invoice can be issued to the council by the CALC or YLCA (by agreement of the CALC) and whether you are a councillor or officer. Please also remember to add the name of the CALC after the name of the council.
• retain the confirmation e-mail automatically generated by Zoom upon registration as this contains the link to join the webinar. Please keep this safe. If you do not receive the confirmation e-mail, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. You will also receive reminder e-mails directly via Zoom one week beforehand and a day beforehand.
• join the session at least 5 minutes before the start time as all webinars will start promptly.
• The presentation and handouts will be e-mailed to delegates after the session, and an invoice will be issued to the relevant CALC or council.

If less than five people register for a training session, it may be cancelled (anyone registered for a cancelled webinar training session will be advised of the cancellation by e-mail).

Cancellation

If delegates are unable to attend a training session and do not cancel the registration, the CALC or council will be charged. Therefore, please cancel delegates’ bookings as soon as you realise they will be unable to attend; this will allow someone else to take their place. If the delegate does not attend the training, YLCA will charge the CALC or council if notification of the cancellation has not been received. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as soon as possible to cancel a place.
