Join us on Wednesday, March 13, 2013 for County Day at the Capitol. This event will begin at the Wallace Building auditorium. There will be special presenters on the hot issues of the time. From there, the group will travel to the Capitol. The time at the statehouse will give county officials the opportunity to participate in the lobbying process by meeting with their legislators.

This year's event is being held in conjunction with the 2013 ISAC Spring School of Instruction, March 14-15. Hotel accommodations are available at discounted rates on Tuesday, March 12 at all spring school conference hotels. You must pre-register for the spring school on the ISAC website before making your hotel reservations.

We have secured space in the Capitol Rotunda for affiliate displays. This will give each individual affiliate the opportunity to introduce legislators and the public to your important roles in the effective administration of county government.

Lunch will be provided for legislators and attending county officials in the Capitol Rotunda West Wing. This will again give county officials the opportunity to interact with legislators.

In order to have the opportunity to meet with your legislators on this day, each county is encouraged to set up meetings with their legislators in advance. Most days of the session are extremely busy and having a scheduled time with your legislators is very important to make the most of your day.

As an ISAC member county it is important to be involved in the legislative session and to work to promote ISAC's legislative priorities and objectives. County Day at the Capitol will give our members an opportunity to support ISAC's efforts and work towards improving county government.

It is our hope that by making a concentrated effort to focus on county issues on just one day, that we will have the greatest impact at the Capitol.

Please mark your calendars now for March 13, 2013!

If you have any questions regarding the event, please contact Rachel Bicego at rbicego@iowacounties.org.
