Apathy to Action: Building Resilient Communities through Managing Assets

Event Date
February 26, 2025 - 12:00 PM (EST) to 3:00 PM (EST)

Asset management is about making informed, evidence-based decisions that help you allocate limited resources effectively and prioritize infrastructure investments. It’s a powerful planning tool that allows you to shape the future of your community by targeting the areas that matter most.

This interactive workshop offers local government staff and elected officials the opportunity to explore how asset management not only fulfills legislative requirements but also enhances decision-making and strengthens service delivery. Through practical examples and engaging discussions, participants will learn how to apply asset management principles to set strategic priorities, plan budgets, and align services with community needs. The workshop will also prompt reflection on the most critical services and what’s required to sustain them for the long term. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how to embed asset management into everyday planning and policy-making, ensuring their community’s success for years to come.
