A guide to organising local government
A Municipal Protocol Manual enables the local council to act with greater consistency, confidence and sound judgement in institutional events, official visits, matters of precedence, forms of address, symbols and situations involving public representation.
This is not a theoretical document, but rather a practical tool designed to minimise improvisation, professionalise the management of protocol and enhance the institutional image of the local authority.
Areas of work

Applicable regulations, internal criteria, institutional practices and the organisation of protocol procedures
Event, protocol and forms of address

Symbols and institutional representation
The use of symbols, institutional imagery, formal communication and consistent representation.
