Re:  Foundation issues new paper: Leadership & Change: a Primer for Newly Elected Officials

Dear Mayor:

The League Foundation announces the release of “Leadership & Change: a Primer for Newly Elected Officials.”  This is the sixteenth paper in the NJLM Foundation’s “Friends of Local Government” series.   This paper is authored by Robert Casey, a long-time municipal manager and consultant.   This a narrative of a presentation given by Mr. Casey at the Mayor Leadership Training seminars offered by the League of Municipalities.

Our hope is that in addition to any education programs offered by the League and other opportunities, newly elected Mayors and other officials, at all levels of government, will  follow some of the tips offered by Mr. Casey.

This paper is available at: http://www.njlmef.org/policy-papers/FoLG_v4_4.pdf

The entire “Friends of Local Government” Policy Paper series is available on the Foundation’s website at www.njlmef.org

Very truly yours,

William G. Dressel, Jr.
Executive Director
