Elected Official Training
Support and Information Elected Officials Need

Passion for your community brought you into office. As an elected official, the challenge now is to lead by example while always being aware of liability issues that can put your entity at risk. Explore our resources for new and experienced elected officials for tips and tools on how to function effectively with your fellow council/board members to achieve the best results for your community.
If you want more one-on-one support, our General Counsel, Sam Light, can conduct onsite training. He has decades of experience working with municipalities, a deep understanding of Colorado municipal regulations, and is happy to help.
Our new Elected Officials Safety Shorts also provide great information on best practices for reducing liability risks for you and your organization and enabling success as an elected official.
