A lively discussion from retired Orange County Planning Directors on the skills and leadership traits every Planning Commissioner can (and should) deliver! Join us for “Tales of the Commission” an exchange geared for Planning Commissioners intent on growing their planning policy and land use tool-box while ethically serving their communities and improving their leadership skills as a Planning Commissioner.
Come listen and discover what Planning Commissioners can actively do to be successful, how to navigate the complexities of the role, earn community trust, and avoid common pitfalls through the lens of those on the other side of the Planning Commission dais. Gain practical insights on what the Planning Commissioner’s role really is and how Commissioners can grow through every study session and public hearing to be a proven leader and effective Commissioner on the dais. Bring your questions and scenarios to hear what our distinguished panel of experts advise since each have served in the trenches and heard/seen it all.
