Homelessness is a national problem; yet addressing the issue with any meaningful solutions, has been left to local governments and nonprofits. Throughout Florida, local governments, nonprofits, and business leaders have worked together, in varying degrees, to respond to this issue. Sarasota County, the City of Sarasota, and the Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness are leading examples of what is being done in their region to identify solutions to this important public issue. Presenters for this month's webinar will discuss their challenges and offer the steps taken to mitigate and improve homelessness in Sarasota County.

ICMA Practices: 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 13Program Summary
In the last decade, the advent of social media and other technical advances has challenged local governments to effectively respond to evolving issues; all which have an ethical component that must be considered and defined. Building and sustaining a culture of ethics becomes even more important with the discretion employees must have to fulfill their ever changing public service duties. To define and discuss these ethical challenges, a distinguished and diverse panel of local government managers has been put together to provide an informative and interactive program for attendees. FCCMA members are encourage to register key staff members to attend this important program and to be prepared to contribute to this discussion.
Note: attendance will satisfy FCCMA's annual four-hour ethics training requirement.

ICMA Practices: 3, 4, 5, 13, 14Program Summary
True Colors is described as a communication model that is deeply rooted in personality typing and temperament - It's not an intelligence test! Participants will explore how they are wired, how they engage with others, what drives them and what frustrates them. The goal is to have fun and make this session accessible to everyone! Ultimately, recognizing and understanding our differences promotes greater acceptance and improved relationships. All participants will receive take-away materials to help with further study and practical application of lessons learned. We all adapt and change over time. This approach to assessing personality and communications is very simple and easy compared to other programs. Attendees are welcomed from all levels of governments.Presenter
