Call for 2025 Session Proposals!

We invite you to submit a session presentation proposal to be offered in-person at this year’s County Leaders Conference, November 18-20, 2025.

These sessions will provide opportunities for skill development, the exchange of knowledge, and a collaborative learning atmosphere related to county government. We encourage you to be creative, innovative, and interactive with your session ideas!

We do anticipate more proposals than session time slots available, so we may combine some proposals with others, and not every proposal can be included in the conference agenda. The deadline for submitting proposals is July 1, 2025.

WSAC will discuss the proposals received and notify you of your proposal status by the beginning of August.

Don’t have session proposal you’d like to present? Send us topics you want to learn more about here.
