Charter Government in New Hampshire

Join NHMA’s Legal Services Counsel, Stephen Buckley, and Municipal Services Counsel, Jonathan Cowal for a webinar as companion to the publication of NHMA’s updated and revised Charter Government Handbook.

This presentation will provide city and town council members, and alderpersons, with a thorough introduction to the governance of municipalities with municipal charters.

Topics to be covered will include an overview of the history and legal authority of New Hampshire charter governments, the municipal powers granted to this form of government, along with a review of the Right-to-Know Law, budgeting & finance and ethical issues and conflicts of interest.
