Impacts of Federal Action on Local Jurisdictions: A Conversation on County Administration
This webinar is available on-demand. If you have issues accessing the recording, please email nacomeetings@naco.org.
National policy has far-reaching implications across our entire country, but distilling its impacts on specific states and localities can be difficult. Join NACo staff and representatives of the National Association of County Administrators (NACA) for a deep dive into how recent federal action is impacting county government administration and management. In this webinar, you will hear from a panel of county administrators as they unpack their local responses to the current federal and political environment and, ultimately, prioritize good governance and high-quality service delivery.
Following the webinar, NACA will be hosting a 30-minute, members-only discussion. If you are a NACA member, please use this link to register for the discussion, in addition to the normal webinar registration:
