Sponsored by North Carolina City and County
Management Association and the International
City/County Management Association What is the Range Rider Program?
The
range rider program is designed to make retired
members of the city and county management
profession available to managers to help solve
their professional concerns. Range Riders meet
periodically with managers, upon request, to
discuss developments in the management field and
professional concerns of the managers.
Discussions will include such topics as
relations with councils, career changes,
professional management techniques, financial
and budgetary problems, and questions of
professional ethics.
Who are the Range Riders?
The
range riders are retired city and county
managers with extensive experience in the
management profession who are selected by the
NCCCMA Board of Directors. This program will
make a Range Rider available, at no charge, to
city and county managers for private counseling.
These retired managers have experienced the
problems and frustrations of managing local
governments and are willing to assist managers
in resolving these issues. Range Riders are
envisioned as friends, colleagues and counselors
to the individual managers and should not be
considered as “consultants” to the local
governments.
Why a Range Rider Program?
Range riders have several advantages in
addressing city and county management problems.
Experience in solving professionally related
problems, demonstrated ingenuity and willingness
to offer their services are some of the valuable
elements of this program. Range Riders can also
assist in the professionalization of the
management field. These competent, dedicated and
knowledgeable individuals can play a significant
role in assisting and improving your management
capacity.
The
range riders also have easy access to ICMA/NCCCMA
programs and resources. These advantages make
this program an attractive source of outside
counsel for the management profession.Sponsorship and Cost
The
range rider program is sponsored by the North
