Smarter Local Government

Venue: Heron's Reach, De Vere Hotel,
Blackpool
 On the 17th of March 2010 the North West E Government Group (NWEGG) will be holding their annual Spring Full Members Meeting this year focussing on the opportunities to make efficiencies through "Smarter Local Government".
The event relates to the wider government initiative "Smarter Government", however the theme has been tailored to reflect the immediate requirements of local organisations, particularly the need to operate more efficiently whilst preserving the quality of delivery.
This is a great opportunity to hear from a great range of speakers here in the North West and network with like minded colleagues, to understand some of the “no brainers” for more cost effective working and to engage with relevant national initiatives. The day includes an active mix of speakers who will be covering a number of key agenda items that you should be aware of.
Some of the speakers presenting on the day include:
-Steven Pleasant, Chief Executive of Tameside, Chair of NWEGG
- Erika Wenzel, Chief Executive, Cheshire East Council
- Neil Hind, Programme Manager, NW IEP
- Patrick Clark, Government Connect
- Bernadette Hurst, Assistant Chief Executive, NW IEP
The event is FREE to NWEGG member organisations plus there is no limit on numbers of attendees from any given organisation (within the limits of the venue).
Details of the event:
Location: Heron's Reach, De Vere Hotel, East Park Drive, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY3 8LL
Time: Arrival from 9:15am and depart at 15:00pm
