CEA Meetings and Events
Annual
Meetings
Every year CEA holds four quarterly meetings. These meetings span
two days and usually consist of board of directors meetings and
general policy meetings followed by evening receptions and dinners.
Internal business is conducted at closed board of directors meetings
while public policy and issue-oriented topics are discussed during
open meetings. CEA county membership can attend board of directors
meeting to discuss specific issues but cannot vote. Associate members
may attend general meetings, dinners and receptions, or other CEA
events but cannot vote or participate in closed board of directors
meetings.
Quarterly meetings
are planned in advance. Two meetings tend to be in Washington D.C.
while two meetings tend to be in local counties. The actual location
of each meeting is designated by CEA with the approval of the board
of directors. The location and agenda of each meeting is subject
to change.
Legislative
Meetings
CEA can call a legislative meeting in order to discuss a national
initiative that may affect county government. Legislative meetings
are not planned in advance, as they are responses to activities
occurring in Congress, and do not follow a specific format. Associate
members are welcome to attend legislative meetings and may have
the opportunity to speak from an "industry perspective." County
members use these meetings to formulate a unified position regarding
an issue and CEA often presents the results in position
statements and reports to members, the public, and the federal
government.
CEA Meet and
Greet Events
CEA organizes a general "meet and greet" dinner for associate
members three times a year, usually coinciding with CEA quarterly
meetings. These dinners will feature various county executives
who are members
of CEA. Associate members attend for free.
Other Events
From time to time CEA hosts other events, including conferences,
international trade missions, press conferences, political forums
etc. Members are notified in advance of any events and invited
to attend. Details are offered as events develop. |
