The program provides an overview of basic issues, responsibilities and expectations associated with serving as a county supervisor.
On Sept. 14, a new course entitled “Making a Governance Difference: The Role of Leadership” will be offered. This comprehensive course with home study and a follow-up session on Nov. 7 is open to all county supervisors..
In conducting this interesting course Mike Chandler, Professor Emeritus at the Virginia Tech, along with Extension Specialists for Community Viability at Virginia Tech will utilize examples and call on practitioners from all around Virginia.
