99th Annual County Judges and Commissioners Association of Texas Conference

Education That Is Informative

This CJCAT conference will provide valuable information on important topics to assist with your daily operations as an elected official. Plus it’s a great opportunity to get to know fellow judges and commissioners.

Tuesday’s educational afternoon will provide judges specific information on current judicial topics, while the commissioners’ education track will focus on county roads, bonds and certificates of obligation, redistricting and public information acts.

Presentations on Wednesday and Thursday will center on timely issues such as county cybersecurity, justice systems, commissions and committees, elections, regulations and legal issues, and grant seeking pertaining to the American Rescue Plan Act.

Several fun activities will allow plenty of opportunities to network with officials from across the state, including the President’s Party and the Exhibitor Appreciation Night. Have a great time at the Williamson County Host Court Night on Tuesday evening, and Wednesday will feature the popular tournament afternoon with domino and golf competitions. And don’t forget the spouse activities scheduled for Tuesday.
