Orientation for Newly Elected Countywide Officials

Orientation is offered free of charge to those who have recently been elected to serve as county auditor, treasurer, clerk of court, coroner, probate judge, register of deeds, or sheriff. This session is designed to provide an overview of the roles and responsibilities of county officials and the association’s programs and services. Participants will learn about forms and powers of county government, state ethics act, budget basics and funding sources, how a bill becomes a law, and strategies for building relationships with county council and county administration.

Participants who complete the day-long orientation will receive six credit hours toward their Level I certification in the Institute of Government for County Officials.
