2022 County Leaders Conference Recap

Over 325 Attend County Leaders Conference

In November 2022, WSAC hosted the County Leaders Conference (CLC) in Renton, King County, WA! This 3-day long training brought attendees from every county in Washington State. It provided leadership training, issue updates, voting on critical legislative priorities, and the opportunity to network with their peers. Those of you who attended, THANK YOU. You made it our best conference yet, and we’re excited to have you back in Spokane County at the Davenport Grand next year!

With the cross-over of so many county leaders, multiple affiliate groups were able to meet during the conference, including the Washington State Association of County Engineers (WSACE), the Washington State Association of Public Health Officials (WSALPHO), the Washington Association of County Solid Waste Managers (WACSWM), the Washington County Administration Association (WCAA), the Association of County Human Services (ACHS), and more. These groups and attendees also had access to the largest selection of Exhibitors and Sponsors in recent history! Please be sure to thank them for supporting Washington State counties!

This was the premiere event for county leadership in Washington State.

The diverse learning opportunities ranging from budgeting, civility in government, land use, cyber-security, recycling, cannabis, broadband, and much more supported these educational opportunities. 

Thank You 2022 Sponsors & Exhibitors!
