2011 WCCA President’s Goals By Mark Steward Goal 1: Work within our organization to increase attendance at our conferences and to increase membership. Objective: The essence of our organization is to educate and provide information to our membership. It is important to work towards organizing the conferences that best benefit our members. With better conferences, changes in district leadership and training sessions we can work towards increasing membership. Goal 2: Establish a new award called the Richard Mace Lifetime Achievement Award and look to give out the award in 2011. Objective: We currently have one award, Professional of the Year, sometimes people spend years contributing to the organization without recognition. This is an opportunity to not only award someone for recent achievements but mostly for their overall contribution to the organization over their entire career. Goal 3: Work cooperatively with the Wisconsin Counties Association in reviewing and commenting on proposed legislation. Objective: The WCA is our link to the Legislature and it is important to communicate and work with them to advance our mission. Our organization should work cooperatively with the WCA on issues that have an impact on our organization. Goal 4: Work with the Center for Land Use Education to develop and provide training to our members. Objective: The Leadership Seminars were a success as is seen with the number of new members in our organization as well as new district representatives and the number of leadership seminar graduates on the Executive Board. With the pending retirement of experienced County Code Administrators there is a need to provide training to our members at all levels of experience. Goal 5: Promote effective communication between the Executive Board and the State Agencies with which we work (DNR, DATCP, DCOMM). Objective: With the new codes and changing administration now more than ever it is important for us to have open communication with these State Agencies. |
