What We Do

LGLH provides tailored learning experiences for elected members and staff across the democratic, business and operational needs of local government.

LGLH workshops and forums are adaptable, relevant, targeted and definitely not boring.

Please do feel free to enquire about any needs your council has. And if our current offerings do not meet your need, we are happy to develop something that may suit.

“I have always enjoyed Vern & Steve’s workshops because of the fact that they are approachable and more importantly, they make it comfortable for participants to speak, comment and ask questions.”
