Mayoral Leadership Program
Preparing Mayors and Deputy Mayors for Success
The VLGA’s Mayoral Leadership Program (MLP), is held annually and soon after councils have held their Mayoral and Deputy Mayor elections.
Our one-day program meets all the requirements of mandatory Mayoral and Deputy Mayor professional development within 4 weeks of their election.
Designed to be an interactive learning experience, the MLP focuses on developing and enhancing practical skills and knowledge to help councillors undertake these complex and demanding roles with a high degree of competency.
The program also presents an opportunity for mayors and deputy mayors from across Victoria to foster connections and establish support networks at the beginning of their term.
The program for 2026 will be held on Friday, 4 December.
