The Academy for Good Governance is a series of seven courses created by the NH Municipal Association (NHMA) and Primex, exclusively for elected governing body members (select board, town council, city council, board of aldermen, school board, and village district commissioners).  Courses are taught by experienced attorneys and staff from NHMA, Primex, HealthTrust, and the New Hampshire School Boards Association (NHSBA).  Attendees will receive education and training intended to make them more knowledgeable and effective in their governing body roles.

Allegations of employee misconduct are a serious matter especially when alleged against an employee of your city or town. To maintain community confidence in your municipal government, this situation requires a prompt, thorough, accurate and timely investigation.

Governing boards are uniquely positioned to establish the right policy, lead by example and set the tone.
