The NSW Local Government Council Elections were held for all council electorates with the Elections on 4th December, 2021.This was a great experience for Adrienne McLean to use her marketing and sales skills to promote herself in this election. Personal selling is important for all business owners and this political election tested and stretched her skills.
This is the time of year when community members who are keen to give back to their community nominate and go through the local government election process to be a councillor for their local council.
These individuals are leaders who want to see their community looked after for future generations. In Ku-ring-gai, the community wants the services and amenities of beautiful bushland environments, tree lined streets, conservative and appropriate suburban development available for families, youth, seniors.
