Do you want to improve upon your leadership and decision-making skills to benefit your day-to-day relationships with those in your township? The Ohio Township Association Leadership Academy 1.0 (OTALA 1.0) is a joint effort between the Ohio Township Association, OSU Extension Office of Community Development, and Miami University’s Center for Public Management and Regional Affairs. OTALA 1.0 is designed for elected officials, township professional staff, and appointed individuals who serve on township committees, commissions, boards, or task forces.
