ICMA Launches New Online Workshops

ICMA is expanding its professional development offerings with a new online workshop format designed to promote self-discovery and personal growth. These three-hour live events will bring your peers together in a cohort learning experience that is engaging, interactive, and easy to fit into your schedule.

This new offering will kick off with a lineup of leadership workshops delivered by Brian Bullock, director of worldwide learning and professional development at ICMA, where he provides leadership and oversight to the professional development team. With over a decade of facilitation, instructional design, and consulting experience, Brian brings impactful learning approaches designed for the unique needs and challenges of local government professionals.
