Organizational Development
Often small rural towns “under-attend” to the organizational aspects of town governance. Leadership and management of town services often fall to elected board officials who are largely focused on policy and community relations. These towns need ideas for managing important resources in an efficient way.
Policy development
When should a policy be written? How will it be written/communicated? How will it be enforced? These questions are critical for town governance but often haunt governing boards. Learn Blackberry Hill could help in such planning.
Community Relations
The community’s perception of small town governments if often varied and sometimes fickle. Use of web site and social media should be central to how information is shared and promoted from towns.
Human Resources
Although small towns often have less than 10 employees, those employees require human resource attention. Employment practices, benefits, accountability, supervision are part of town HR system and need constant attention.
