TCSA Annual Fall Conference Concludes in Chattanooga

The TCSA Fall Conference and Trade Show this year in Chattanooga was a huge success. Thanks to all of you who attended and participated in our board meetings, committee meetings, membership meetings, educational workshops and training programs. County Commissioners at the conference had opportunities to learn about a host of topics including Economic Development, Mental Health Issues, Land Use Regulations, the 2010 Census, and much more. The TCCA board met and discussed strategies and outlooks for the upcoming legislative session. Our nominating committee also made recommendations for officers and directors for the next year which were adopted by the membership (see article above).

The conference General Session included a panel of excellent speakers, including Commissioner Tim Webb of the Department of Education and Tom Kilgore, CEO of the Tennessee Valley Authority. We also heard a presentation on the recruitment of Volkswagon to the Chattanooga area. The final business meeting on Friday morning included a discussion by Tom Griscom, Editor/Publisher of the Chattanooga Times/Free Press on his impressions of the 2010 Gubernatorial Campaign so far.
