This orientation for municipal officials, that are newly elected, re-elected, or experienced is fast-paced and designed to quickly bring elected officials up-to-date on important municipal issues. The newly elected officials will get a thorough overview of their major areas of responsibility, key contacts at the State level, and important sources of information and assistance.
Re-elected and experienced officials will receive valuable up-to-date reference materials that will guide them to the answers they seek. They will also get the latest information on the most important municipal issues – all while meeting their newly elected peers and the League staff.
The Luncheon with an open forum discussion is an integral part of the orientation and is designed as a net-working tool for both the newly elected, re-elected, and experienced officials. It is an opportunity to informally discuss experiences and share ideas with fellow elected officials.
