Ethics Considerations for County Officials (Parts I & II)
Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2023
Conflicts of interest, ethics, nepotism, required disclosures…. There are quite a few ways to get into hot water in the course of county business. TAC attorneys discuss the law and best practices specific to county government in this training course.
In the two-part training, they give an overview of ethics for county officials: conflicts of interest, required disclosures, exemptions and penalties for noncompliance, the County Purchasing Act, and nepotism.
Upon completion of the training, you will receive a certificate of completion via email. Completion of parts 1 and 2 are required to receive CE credit. Submit this confirmation to the appropriate coordinating body for credit.
