1.Please, introduce yourself. Why did you decide to become a local councillor?

I am Algis Aliukevičius - Local Councillor of the Municipality in Prienai. I‘m 50 years old. This is my native region. I’ve been born in Butkiškių village, in the Išlaužo elder. I‘ve studied in Lithuanian Agriculture University, agronomy and have the qualification of the scientific agronomic. I‘ve finished Kaunas Technology University as well and have business administrator master degree. My main work place is Labour Exchange Office in Prienai, I am a Director. And my social activity - LC in Municipality of Prienai, member of the Lithuanian Social Democrats party and here I am a vice-chairman of its department in Prienai. In my leisure time I have my 20 hectare of the land and I work a farm.
As a Local Councillor of Prienai region I‘ve been elected constantly from the year 1996, 5th term in turn. I‘ve been elected maybe because people trust me and I try to help them in solving their problems, I can listen everyone and give some advices.

2.What did your experience as a local councillor bring you? Personally? Professionally? Did you have to make use of your professional skills? Did it help you develop new skills?

Being LC I acquired huge experience, as I‘ve been working there for 14 years. During this time I‘ve gained competences in communication and collaboration. I very often meet my electorate and I know their problems; and often it happens to act as a mediator between people and municipality officials bringing forward and solving different problems. Skills acquired in the LC help to solve clients’ problems easier in the direct job as well. It helps to develop new skills, such as activity insights, management, creation of the new strategies etc.
