0876 - ACCG Regional Cooperation

Few challenges that counties face lie solely within the purview of any one governing body, let alone within the purview of any single county. Key issues that affect quality and quantity of life -economic development, jobs, transportation, public health, safety, air and water quality -pay little attention to jurisdictions or sectors. Local government leaders must have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to work across jurisdictional and sectoral boundaries successfully. This class will address key principles, strategies, and best practices that can help make regional cooperation a reality. This advanced course is in the Intergovernmental Relations Specialty Track.  The other courses in this specialty track include: City-County Relations, Conflict Resolution, Constitutional Officers, Crisis Management, Federal and State Relations, Negotiation and Mediation, and Working with School Boards, Authorities, and other Partners.
