A Survey of Educational Program Needs for the Florida Association of Counties County Commissioner Training Program: FE634/FE634, 2006

Abstract

Florida Cooperative Extension has partnered with the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) and the Florida Counties Foundation (FCF) since 1998 in surveying Florida County Commissioners and County Administrators approximately every two years. The survey collects information regarding attendance at FAC-FCF sponsored events, willingness to pay for educational programs, worth of events and programs attended by commissioners and administrators, desired locations for educational activities and, most importantly, the type and amount of training needed by commissioners on various topics that would assist them as an elected policy maker.

The results of the 2005-06 survey are presented as an executive summary that follows. In addition, for the first time the executive summary, survey questionnaire and PowerPoint presentation of results are being made available via a link for those who would like to view or print the entire document.
