Across the country, there are over 38,000 special-purpose government entities that are commonly referred to as Special Districts. Each of these special districts serves a vital community need including water, sanitation, parks, roads, mass transit, and more. Now in its second year, the Special Districts Program – a joint initiative between AT&T and Government Technology – is designed to enable special districts to connect, share and learn from one another online and on-the-road. The Special Districts Summits provide an in-person opportunity for special districts to hear inspirational keynotes, leadership discussions and timely topics to help advance their missions as well as network with other districts from their region. Drawing from the recommendations of a national advisory board and the latest research from the Center for Digital Government, the agenda will deliver relevant and actionable content to all regional participants.

 

PEA’s Executive Director, Emily Schapira, will be speaking on the A New District Experience panel at 9:30 am along with Ronald Singleteary, Lead Business Dev – IOT, AT&T
