This four-session online training is designed to professionalize and elevate the work of secretaries to the Sanggunian and members of the legislative secretariat, equipping them with the essential tools, best practices and professional standards necessary to support efficient, transparent and accountable governance.
The sessions cover practical strategies for legislative documentation, records management, public accessibility and compliance — not only with the Local Government Code of 1991, but also with evolving procedural, ethical and governance standards that reflect both local mandates and global best practices.
Participants will learn how to apply structured processes, integrity-driven practices and precision in execution to strengthen the operations of the Sanggunian.
Through real-life examples, hands-on exercises and case studies, the training delivers practical applications while reinforcing the values of professionalism, ethical conduct and institutional excellence.
