VACo’s educational event offers supervisors an opportunity to learn about the critical issues that counties face today. “We are excited that many supervisors will visit this weekend to take advantage of this exceptional educational opportunity,” said Jim Campbell, VACo Executive Director. “We realize that many of our supervisors gain more insight about their role in county government after participating.” Supervisors will discuss and learn about issues such as financial responsibilities, schools, economic development, transportation, environmental protection, intergovernmental relations, legal and more. An overview of county government and the work of county supervisors will also be covered. Scheduled sessions are: • Public Records and Freedom of Information Act • Health and Human Resources • Update on County and School Workforce Retirement Practices • Land Use/Planning • Budget Workshop • Building Relationships through Visioning • Environment • Transportation • Conflicts of Interest and Ethics • Leadership Education is one of VACo’s central pillars. The educational forum has been offered every other year for the past 20 years to coincide with induction of newly elected supervisors. Newly elected and incumbent supervisors, chief county administrative officers and other government managers who have attended in the past have said they leave with information they need to steer their locality forward in a positive direction.

  • Back on Track: Transforming Virginia's Child Welfare System
    Back on Track Transforming Virginia’s Child Welfare System www.aecf.org the annie e. casey foundation www.aecf.org Foreword Despite the best of intentions, deeply committed staff, and significant resources, public child welfare agencies are continually challenged in their efforts to help children and families. For reform-minded administrators across the nation, the question is, how did things go so wrong? The answer, in part, may lie with the multiple masters these systems must serve: The elected, appointed, and judicial officials that shape them; the taxpayers that fund them; the staff members, providers, and community representatives that influence them; and the clients themselves. Faced with the daunting task of improving complex public systems, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has found one approach that can unite these often competing interests: A focus on results. When an agency or a community focuses on results, simple but crucial questions are raised: Are children’s needs being met? Are they safe, developing as they should, and living in stable families? Do dollars spent to help children and families elicit benefits? Do families grow stronger having received supports? To answer these questions, systems must seek out and use data to develop strategies to meet these goals. recommitting to reform Not long ago, the Commonwealth of Virginia faced a difficult realization. Despite efforts in the 1990s to reform its child-serving agencies, prospects for the state’s foster children–older youth especially–were worsening, not improving. To change the status quo, a strong collaboration was forged among the governor’s office, state and local agencies, and Casey.
