County Officials Workshops

County Officials Workshops

Following the spring elections in even numbered years, UW-Extension’s Local Government Center and the Wisconsin Counties Association co-sponsor day-long workshops to orient both new and continuing county officials, at several locations around the state. With turnover on county boards averaging about 25% each election cycle, board members need opportunities to learn more about their roles and responsibilities.

Join the University of Wisconsin-Extension Local Government Education Program and the Wisconsin Counties Association for our 2022 County Officials Workshops which will be held in person in 2022.

THIS ONE-DAY WORKSHOP is a unique opportunity for both newly elected county government officials and veterans of the county board to learn from experienced educators about best practices and avoiding the pitfalls of governance.

  • Roles & Responsibilities
  • Budgeting
  • Open Meetings Law
  • Public Records Law
  • Ethics & Conflicts of Interest
  • Running Effective Meetings
  • Agendas & Minutes

PRICE
