SUPPORTING THE PROFESSIONALS SHAPING QUEENSLAND COMMUNITIES |
Welcome to |
INTERNATIONAL MANAGER EXCHANGE |
LGMA Queensland, in cooperation with the Society of Local Government Managers New Zealand, the League of Californian Cities (United States) and the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (Canada), offers the opportunity for local government managers to travel to the US, Canada or New Zealand to study local government practice. Successful nominees will attend the annual conference in that location and will be hosted by a manager from that jurisdiction. Queensland participants will then host the manager in return when they come to Australia to attend the Queensland state conference. In 2020/21, COVID-19 has disrupted plans for the International Exchanges. However, due to great work by both governments, the New Zealand Exchange will still go ahead, albeit in an adjusted format. Kim Driver of Sunshine Coast Council is the 2020/21 exchange recipient and will travel to New Zealand at some stage (based on travel restrictions). For information, view the 2020/2021 International Manager Exchange Programme brochure. Please call 07 3174 5006, or email admin@lgmaqld.org.au with any queries.
