Over the next few weeks TCCA will host a series of 8 regional meetings across the state. These meetings are a great time for discussion, learning and networking. This year former Senator and former Montgomery County Commissioner Rosalind Kurita will be speaking at the meetings about an important health issue affecting all Tennessee communities. She was recently appointed by Governor Bill Haslam as a Health Policy Advisor to spearhead an initiative to address the growing obesity problem in our state. During the meetings, we will also hear presentations about programs and services that can save counties money, enhance economic development and improve communities. And of course, the program always includes a discussion of current and upcoming legislative issues of interest to county government.
A number of incumbant state legislators and candidates for state office have already indicated that are coming to one or more of these meetings. The meetings are a good opportunity to share the concerns and thoughts of county officials on the topics impacting our state. The regional meetings all start with a dinner (we begin serving at 6:30 p.m. local time), followed by presentations and discussions.
The dates and locations for the meetings are as follows:
Tuesday Sept. 4th, Jonesborough Visitors Center (Washington County)
Wednesday Sept 5th, Knoxville City County Building (Knox County)
Thursday September 6th, Leslie Town Centre (Putnam County)
Tuesday Sept. 11th, Mountain View Inn, Cleveland Tennessee (Bradley County)
Tuesday Sept 18th Paris Landing State Park (Henry County)
Thursday Sept 20th UT Ag Extension Center, Jackson TN (Madison County)
Tuesday Sept. 25th Catfish House Restaurant, Springfield TN, (Robertson County)
Thursday Sept. 27th Henry Horton State Park (Marshall County)
I hope to see you at one of these events!
