We caught up with one of last year’s Emerging Leaders Program cohort, Brendan Eckert, Team Leader of Maintenance, City Infrastructure at The Rural City of Murray Bridge to find out how he found the program.

What made you sign up for the Emerging Leaders Program?

I signed up for the Emerging Leaders Program to further my growth in my Leadership and to gain a better understanding of Local Government.

Can you give us your top three highlights from the program? 

Three highlights form the program would have to be:

• Meeting so many great individuals from different Councils, having an understanding of their work environments and situations
• Self-Reflection assignment and TMS Profiles - understanding how I like to work
• All the presenters and teachers - I thought they were all fantastic
