MACo’s Winter Conference is rapidly approaching and will be held January 7-9, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Hotel in Cambridge, MD. We hope that our newly elected county officials will be able to join us on January 7 from 8:00 am – 1:00 pm to attend our “Newly Elected Officials Orientation.”

During this orientation, newly elected officials will learn about local government budgeting and structure and will participate in roundtable mentoring sessions to learn directly from seasoned elected officials about the duties, responsibilities, and challenges they will face over the next four years. Participants will also learn about their role in working with the General Assembly and MACo, and will hear briefly from the National Association of Counties, the Local Government Insurance Trust, Nationwide Retirement Solutions, and the Academy for Excellence in Local Governance about resources available to public officials as part of MACo membership.

Please view more details here. This orientation is included in Winter Conference registration prices for newly elected officials only – there is no extra cost to attend this event, but participants must register for at least Wednesday of Winter Conference (please view our registration brochure for more details about Winter Conference).
