This handbook is perfect for either introducing newly elected officials to the world of special districts or for keeping seasoned board members/trustees current on their roles and responsibilities. Topics detailed in the handbook include: roles and responsibilities, accountability, why governance is important, learning more about special districts, ethics laws for elected or appointed officials, the Ralph M. Brown Act, being a special district advocate, and the media. Additionally, it serves as a prelude to the four courses offered in CSDA's Special District Leadership Academy.
