This series of 13 handbooks cover eleven different roles performed by the local elected councilor. The package includes a trainer's guide and overview document, in addition to the 11 workbooks. The different roles that are being addressed are the councillor as: policy-maker, decision-maker, communicator, facilitator, enabler, negotiator, financier, overseer, power-broker, institution-builder and leader.
Each handbook has two parts: part I contains concepts included in a self-study essay describing the role and part II training designs/exercises to be used by the trainer to address specific needs. The Training Guide offers practical guidance on how to prepare for workshops and how to facilitate them effectively.
