Day 1 in the bag

Day 1 of NACo's Legislative Conference is history. Mostly a day of subcommittee and affiliate meetings. Sunday, more full committee meetings and hundreds more members will arrive. I had the pleasure to speak a few moments to a gathering of first-time conference attendees. I advised them how their active participation in NACo not only makes NACo such an effective voice of counties in Washington, but how we can assist them in communicating their efforts to the folks back home to help shape national policies affecting local government. Met some wonderful county officials already.
