NEOC Home
The Newly Elected Officials Course is held following every local election. It is a one-of-a kind course, unique in Pennsylvania for its scope and content. More than 800 individuals have attended the Newly Elected Officials Course in its 25 years of existence, and the course has been distinguished as a recipient of the League of Women Voters Good Government Award.
The Newly Elected Officials Course provides a comprehensive overview of the duties of municipal officials, taught by experts in their fields. Reference material is provided to accompany each session.
A formal invitation is sent to all municipal offices in Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington and Westmoreland Counties. Additionally, through the courtesy of county elections departments, all candidates for local office receive registration materials throughout the campaign season. Candidates may pre-register with no obligation if they are unsuccessful in their political bid.
The Opening Day Session for the 2009 - 2010 NEOC will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at the Sheraton Station Square.
