At this year’s MACo Winter Conference learn how to maximize intergovernmental and private sector partnerships to achieve the best results for county residents. Our general session, “We’ve Got Your Back: Counties Collaborate,” will explore a range of issues including mutual aid agreements, cooperative purchasing, and inter-jurisdictional transfers of development rights.
Title: We’ve Got Your Back: Counties Collaborate
Description: Every day, county officials grapple with challenges that exceed the scope of their individual county borders and require collective action. Tackling public safety crises, addressing public health epidemics, and coordinating regional planning or transportation needs are just a few of the situations where counties need to look to each other and other government and private entities to find solutions to shared challenges. In this session, panelists will discuss a variety of programs in which silos are broken and bridges are built to help county governments form partnerships to successfully deliver services to meet community needs.
