Call for Proposals
We invite you to submit a session presentation proposal to be offered in-person at this year’s County Leaders Conference, November 17-19, 2026.
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 10, 2026.
We will discuss the proposals received and notify you of your proposal status in August.
