Effective Public Leadership in Action

Effective local governance requires a strong, transparent partnership between boards and senior leadership teams. This Mountain Communities Governance Workshop offers a dedicated space for multi-member teams from local governmental organizations and non-profits to benchmark success, exchange peer insights, and tackle shared systemic hurdles. Through collaborative problem-solving, participants will modernize their approach to public meetings, role clarity, and community impact. Teams will leave with actionable tools to enhance boardroom culture, align strategic priorities, and lead local public process with clarity and trust. Facilitated by Ben Bohmfalk with insights from his years as a mayor and trustee, planning commission chairman, and staff-level COO, instructional facilitator, and civics teacher in the Roaring Fork Valley. Offered tuition free through the support of a federal grant awarded to Colorado Mountain College’s Center for Civics Education & Engagement.
