The California JPIA recently held the Newly Elected Officials Academy in Huntington Beach. The Academy, which took place in early June, focused on key subjects such as effective council membership, fundamentals of local government, and reducing risk for public agencies. The Academy attracted 21 participants from 17 member agencies who were ready to enhance their understanding of local governance. Through a series of workshops and presentations, attendees were provided with valuable insights and practical strategies to fulfill their roles as elected officials.
