Part IV of our b|voting series will define Ada County Highway Districts' role as a countywide highway district in Idaho. ACHD Commissioners Paul Woods and Sarah Baker will discuss transportation planning and development processes, the collaboration between the state and local cities, maintaining infrastructure and opportunities for growth. Managing over 150 million dollars a year, this organization is one of the least understood elected positions in the entire valley
Join us for part III of our b|voting series to get an in-depth lesson on local government. County governments are the largest political subdivision of state government. Responsible for effectively managing water treatment, police, EMS, elections, the coroner, and even the dump, our county elected officials are the unsung heroes of government. They are largely funded by property taxes and therefore often land in the ire of the public. Listen to former Ada County Commissioners Paul Woods and Jim Tibbs to help you better understand the importance of your vote on county issues.
We invite you to join us for part II of our annual b|voting series. We will hear from Retiring Senator Cherie Buckner-Webb and Retiring Rep. Robert Anderst to discuss the critical roles state legislators play during the legislative session and beyond. They'll discuss how they represent their districts as well as the statewide considerations that come with the role. This is an incredible opportunity to learn more about the legislative process and the complex challenges faced by our citizen legislators.
The Boise Young Professionals B|Voting series is partnering with the Boise Metro Chamber and the Idaho Statesman this year.

Former Congressman LaRocco and Labrador will provide an inside view of the importance of our federal delegation.
