Illinois Township Management Academy
The Illinois Association of Township Administrators (IATA), the Illinois Township Association of Senior Citizens Services Committees (ITASCSC), and the Association of Illinois Township Committees on Youth (AITCOY), have partnered with the Northern Illinois University (NIU) Division of Public Administration and the NIU Center for Governmental Studies to offer township professional staff in Illinois the opportunity to participate in four professional management workshops for a fourth year. The 2015 Illinois Township Management Academy will take place at the NIU Naperville campus on Thursday, October 8th and Friday, October 9th. Two workshops will be offered each day one in the morning (9 AM-12 PM) and one in the afternoon (1 PM-4 PM). Participants who enroll in all four seminars will receive a Certificate of Completion and will receive a fee reduction. Participants may also qualify to earn CEU credits. Up to 30 township professional staff at all levels can participate in the following three hour seminars:
1) Budget Transparency is Good Governance Policy
Thursday, October 8th from 9 AM – 12 PM facilitated by Kurt Thurmaier
2) Enhancing Transparency and Online Services in Township Government
Thursday, October 8th from 1 PM – 4 PM facilitated by Gregory Porumbescu

Friday, October 9th from 9 AM – 12 PM facilitated by Janelle Crowley
4) Assessing Your Organization’s Performance: Nuts and Bolts and Beyond

Emphasis will be placed on using cases relevant to the township experience that connect to important public administration concepts and theories. The fee for each workshop is $89. The workshop fee will include workshop materials, lunch if the participant is enrolled in both workshops that day, and beverages/snacks during the morning and afternoon. Participants enrolling in all four seminars will pay $316, a savings of $40.
