The election is over! I believe that many of you will agree with me that on November 5th our lives changed. There were no more campaign ads on TV. In fact, campaigning had finally stopped. The winners had been announced and life was back to what we call “normal”.
For those who won, I congratulate you and I hope that you enjoy your six year journey as a County Commissioner. CCAWV has just completed basic training for newly elected commissioners and it was a pleasure to meet everyone and participate in this orientation session.
We have 29 new commissioners who bring a variety of backgrounds and different points of view to our association. We welcome all of you and look forward to getting to know you better.
This training seminar was a time for participants to learn exactly what commissioners do and a wonderful opportunity to make new friends from all over the state. This is just the beginning of a time of accomplishment, lots of frustrations and a time of putting everything you learned to good use.
Welcome to the world of county government.
I wish you the very best in all that you do to make your county the best it can be.
