    Your fee schedule indicates that city and county officials Session ONLY are free. Which session or are all sessions on Tuesday free? Does an official mean staff or elected official?
    thanks,
    Gregg Harris

      Hello Gregg,
      The municipal/county/elected officials Tuesday free session registration admits 1 employee for the day. The person can attend any session they choose during the day, but there are sessions taking place that were designed with the officials in mind. There is also an elected officials only luncheon on Tuesday.
      In addition to this, City/Village members get a free 2-day registration as well. So something to consider when deciding which officials and staff will attend.

    I represent our City in an appointed position. Do I qualify for the complimentary municipal registration on Tuesday? Thank you. FYI – I have tried numerous times (unsuccessfully) to reach someone in your office by phone.

    • frank says:

      Hello Virginia, Thanks for your interest, and our apologies as we were spread out today, on a couple site visits. Regarding your complimentary registration, if you are the top appointed official in city/county government (ie, city manager, county executive) then you would qualify. Also, any city with a Heritage Ohio membership receives one free conference registration, so that could be a possibility, too.
