For years, SWANA has been dedicated to providing members with opportunities to discuss today’s most pressing management issues. Targeted at solid waste managers, executives, and decision makers, our Planning, Management, and Communication Training Courses bring together some of the best minds in the business to offer you learning experiences that will enhance your career.  Many of our classes also serve as a prep course for one of SWANA’s seven certification exams.

In these training courses, you will be presented with current management and leadership tactics, giving you the chance to develop the skills needed to become a leader who is recognized for quality, performance, and endurance.  We’ll make sure to discuss the vital role of ethics, the importance of building public consent, and the strategy of media relations. The business planning and marketing techniques we teach will enable you to take your system, and your career, to new levels.
