The integrity of elections is central to our democracy. Yet election officials and other government officials face a highly volatile operating environment and unprecedented challenges - ranging from evolving security threats, diminishing federal support, and rising demands on limited resources. Navigating this environment requires not only technical expertise but also strong, resilient partnerships. Partnerships can strengthen organizational goals and help foster long-term resilience.

This training matters because it:

  • Prepares officials for emerging challenges by grounding them in the history and realities of the current operating environment
  • Builds resilience by building a baseline understanding of ongoing and emerging threats
  • Strengthens collaboration by equipping participants with strategies to engage with stakeholders and cross-sector partners, maximizing resources and operational effectiveness.

Who will benefit:

  • Ideal for election officials, local government administrators, emergency managers, IT officials, and anyone responsible for maintaining and supporting vital election operations or other essential services.

By attending this training webinar, election officials and their partners can gain the tools and perspective necessary to continue safeguarding election operations and maintain public confidence over the long term.

Balancing Public Meeting and Records Transparency Amid Rising Threats and Public Pressure

Public meetings and public records are foundational to transparency and accountability in county government.

In this webinar, we will explore three interconnected priorities: maintaining safe and orderly public meetings, protecting the personal information of public officials and staff, and safeguarding sensitive resident data - including voter-related records - while continuing to meet legal requirements for public access.
