Every year education is the foundation and the focus of the VACo Annual Conference. Attendees gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Virginia’s Counties. This gained knowledge benefits elected and staff leaders as they apply the information and skills they learn from experts and peers to their positions back home. Below are the scheduled Concurrent Sessions that are a big part of the education agenda. We look forward to seeing you November 10-12 in Bath County for the VACo Annual Conference.
