2006 County Officials Workshops - Biennial, Spring

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 six 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. Past participant comments included the following:

  • "I definitely feel better informed."
  • "Excellent!  I will recommend this to other future new county board members."
  • "As a result of attending, I will run a better committee meeting … pay attention to potential conflicts of interest … and better understand my duties, responsibilities, and opportunities to be involved."
