On Monday morning, delegates will convene in Standing Committee meetings to consider dozens of resolutions submitted by county officials and hear from state and local policy experts. While only committee members can vote on these resolutions, the meetings are open to attendees who want to learn more about pressing issues impacting public safety, child welfare, taxation, transportations, and other areas of concern for counties.
 
Newly elected and appointed county officials will have a day-long training program beginning at 10 a.m. Monday.
 
NYSAC's Women's Leadership Council welcomes Ellie Nieves for an interactive and motivational presentation at 1 p.m. on Monday in High Street 24. (RSVP required.)
 
A series of 20 workshops will be offered beginning at 2 p.m. Monday and going through 5 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon. Workshop tracks of interest include sharing services and the tax cap, communication and social media, serving our seniors, veterans and special needs children, and an analysis of the state budget, among others.
