Essentials of County Government
Congratulations! You won the election. Now what?
This two-day course provides newly-elected county commissioners with the tools they need to transition from campaigning to governing. It covers the basics of the role of county governing and the powers and responsibilities of a county board of commissioners. Commissioners will be able to ask questions of and share information with their peers across the state, and will learn about valuable resources available to them to help them navigate their new role.
Registration Options for Essentials of County Government:
Option 1: Two day Essentials, which is for newly elected county commissioners and their managers/clerks who wish to accompany them.
Option 2: One day (Friday) Essentials, which is for incumbent county commissioners only.
Thanks to the generous support of Prudential Financial, this course is being offered at a significantly discounted price from previous years.
