About the Forum: The Virginia Association of Counties hosted the New Supervisors Forum on Jan. 6-8. The purpose of the event was to expose new supervisors to critical issues facing counties today: financial responsibilities, schools, economic development,
transportation, environmental protection, intergovernmental relations, legal issues and more.
Who attended: We had great attendance! Thanks to all who participated--newly elected and incumbent supervisors, chief
county administrative officers and other government managers. We hope you are better prepared to steer your locality forward.
Presentations: Please use these presentations as a resource, and please don't hesitate to contact VACo staff or any of the speakers.
