A conference call for county elected officials and their staff, hosted by the National Association of Counties Northeast Regional Caucus, focuses on the possible effects of the United States Congress’s “lame duck” session on county governments.

The National Association of Counties hosts monthly calls for county elected officials in the Northeast Region of the United States to discuss federal issues with a particular effect on county governments in the northeast region.

This month’s call will provide a Mid-Term and Lame-Duck Session Analysis. Topics will include, the potential impact of the Mid-Terms on the National Association of Counties legislative and policy agenda and what counties may expect in the “lame duck” session.

All Maryland counties are members of NACo, and all county elected officials and their staff are invited to join this call.
