The North & East Texas County Judges and Commissioners Conference is a great opportunity to get together with fellow judges and commissioners from your region and across the state. An outstanding program is scheduled for elected officials and spouses.

The conference agenda includes the latest information on hot topics in county government and interesting educational sessions. Not all of the learning takes place in a classroom; you can network with other officials during golf or domino tournaments on Tuesday afternoon and at several evening events, as well.
