Board Member Funding and Ethics Training

Board members must take "Ethics" training every 2 years, along with "Funding" training, in order to be able to vote on funding related agenda items. Candidates should go through the training process to be prepared to vote on funding items in case they win a seat. Anyone can go through the training for educational purposes.

Please note that the instructions and training may seem more complicated than they really are. As long as you follow the basic information and principles, it will "make more sense" as you gain experience in office. There are also many aspects of the Ethics training that are not typically encountered in the Neighborhood Council experience.

If you have questions or are having computer issues, please contact us for assistance (email: info@svanc.com or leave a message at 818-767-8262). We are happy to help you get fully certified.
