Date published: 11/25/2008
Stafford County Supervisor Paul Milde was among four graduates of the County Supervisor Certification Program offered by Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Virginia Association of Counties. The 18-month program is a partnership between Virginia Tech and VACo that provides training to enhance the leadership and decision-making skills of county supervisors in the commonwealth. The County Supervisor Certification Program was created in response to VACo members requesting more in-depth knowledge about government operations. The program provides an overview of the basic issues, expectations and practices associated with serving as a county supervisor, as well as detailed information about local government. Each participant completes five core courses featuring both classroom instruction and self-directed learning on leadership development, duties and responsibilities of public officials, community planning, local government finance and collaborative governance. Participants also select three elective courses on topics such as conflict resolution and dispute management, team building, technology in local government, decision-making and intergovernmental relations.
