Upcoming Leadership Team Training

Join the Missoula Neighborhoods Office and the Local Government Center at MSU for a curated training just for Missoula Neighborhood Leadership Team members! This training will be on Thursday, November 2nd from 5:30-7:30pm in City Council Chambers (140 W. Pine St.). This training will cover the City of Missoula charter, the Neighborhood structure, new Leadership skills, and ways that you can make an impact in your community. We will have dinner available for all attendees.

This is not a requirement of Leadership Team members but it is strongly recommended that all Leadership Team members participate in the training. If you are not able to make this training, we will be offering another one in the spring of 2024. 

We do need to get a headcount so please fill out this form as soon as possible to reserve your spot: https://forms.office.com/g/JzHpKXeLUp. We do ask for you to let us know of any food specifications or allergies and if you have any questions that you would like answered!
