Membership Exchange Program
The Membership Exchange Program is a one year program (August 2023 – July 2024) designed to provide commissioners, judges, and chairs the opportunity to connect with their peers, build relationships, and learn best practices and innovative solutions from counties throughout the state.
Applicants will be placed in pairs or small groups and encouraged to plan county visits to get on the ground exposure to county successes, projects, and programs across diverse geographic regions and county structures.
Applications for the 2023-2024 program are now closed. Application for the 2024-2025 program will open in June 2024. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Kristen Paul.
