The Washita Valley Leadership Program Class 16 was out and about on February 16, 2010, learning about city and county government in Caddo County. The class met in courtroom 3 of the Caddo County Courthouse and sat in on several presentations and panel discussions on county services and the duties of our elected county officials. The schedule in the afternoon was a tour of the Caddo County jail facility (hosted by Philip Smith, Caddo County Jail Administrator) and an offender's panel. All in all, it was a busy and productive learning experience.


The next class will be held in Oklahoma City at the state capitol on March 2 and March 3 on the state government session. There will be an overnight stay and a jam-packed schedule as we hear from a variety of state officials about the duties and responsibilities of their offices. See you there!
