Newly elected officials train over two-week span
The AAC hosted training for newly elected officials over the course of two weeks in December. Some groups, such as the sheriffs, met for a full week. Others met for either one or two full days. This new approach to training allowed staff members to offer more personalized service, catering the coursework to each specific office.
