Judges elect officers, discuss highway funding
Officer election, highway funding panel on judges’ agenda for fall
The County Judges Association of Arkansas kicked off its fall 2015 meeting in North Little Rock with a two-day roads seminar. Speakers focused on management development, the Unpaved Roads Grants Program and more. The week then continued with a status report of the Working Group on Highway Funding and culminated in the election of new officers, who will serve two-year terms.
