What’s Missing?

The Institute interviewed local elected officials to get their input on what kinds of information newly elected officials need. We are in the process of developing additional materials to respond to those interviews, but we want to make sure our to-do list is complete.

Contact us with suggestions on what to include or offers of assistance to build out this portion of the Institute’s website.

Sample materials that have been successful in your agency’s orientation efforts welcome too!
