Investigations 101 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm Wednesday, May 18, 2022

Upcoming Webinars NHMA will be hosting two complimentary webinars in May and June for members of the New Hampshire Municipal Association.

Allegations of employee misconduct are a serious matter especially when alleged against an employee of your city or town. To maintain community confidence in your municipal government, this situation requires a prompt, thorough, accurate and timely investigation. Enhance your investigative skills by joining Talesha SaintMarc, an experienced labor and employment attorney and workplace investigator from Bernstein Shur, who will examine when municipalities need to conduct an investigation, the scope of the investigation, how to prepare to investigate, and how to use basic interview techniques, including assessing witness credibility. Attorney Saint-Marc will also discuss when municipalities should consider hiring an outside investigator and the development of an investigative report or summary as a means to restore public confidence and accountability. There will be ample time for questions and answers.

The Workings of a Planning Board 11:30 am - 1:00 pm Wednesday, June 29, 2022 This webinar is geared for new planning board members and alternates, as well as seasoned veterans who want a refresher course on planning board basics.
