The League Conference and its Affiliates would like to welcome you to the New Jersey League of Municipalities’ 106th Conference.

Leadership, Laughter, & Learning: A Workshop for Government Officials (Room 411). This past year has been a strange one in the Garden State, but the New Jersey leaders who have survived most effectively are the ones who laughed at themselves and learned a great deal in the process. For elected government leaders, the benefits of laughter are many. So how can you add a daily laughter pill (or two) to your government diet? In this program, former Flemington Councilman Joey Novick and Assemblyman Jon Bramnick (LD-21) will share their secrets of achieving stress reduction, gaining wisdom, and enhancing communication skills through laughter. This is a part of the Local Government Leadership Program (LGLP).
