County Judges and Commissioners Meet in Austin
February 17, 2005
AUSTIN, TX - Commissioner Gregory Parker joined over 500 county judges and commissioners for the 47th Annual County Judges and Commissioners' Continuing Education Conference and Educational Exposition at the Renaissance Austin Hotel on February 15-17, 2005.
The annual continuing education conference in Austin is sponsored by the V. G. Young Institute of County Government, which is part of Texas Cooperative Extension. The Institute provides elected county officials with information and technical assistance and helps officials complete their state-mandated continuing education requirements.
Included in the program were workshops on Emergency Preparedness and Emergency Response, Judicial Education and Ethics as well as Safety Improvements for County Roads.
"It was very worthwhile, and I enjoyed being a part" Commissioner Parker said.
"Texas is one of a small number of states that requires all elected county officials to earn continuing education credits," explained Richard O. Avery, Director of the Institute. "The Institute provides education to county commissioners, judges, treasurers, tax assessor-collectors and county and district clerks through programs across the State."
Those attending the February conference received continuing education credit from the Office of Continuing/Distance Education at Texas A&M University.
