North & East Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association Annual Conference

June 26, 2023 by Sarah L

July 17-20 | Galveston Island Convention Center, Galveston County

A Different Kind of Career – Under Cover in the CIA:  A law degree in hand, a young Jim Olson looked forward to settling down and raising a family in small-town America. However, one phone call changed everything. 

     Thirty-plus years later, Jim Olson emerged from a career that was anything but settling, filled with weapons, disguises, espionage and danger. 

     Olson will share his family’s story during the Opening General Session of the 2023 North & East Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association Conference at the Galveston Island Convention Center. Olson will speak at 8:50 a.m. on Tuesday, July 18. 

Continuing Education 

     The four-day conference will kick off with early bird classes on Monday morning, July 17, to include four hours of administrative training for Judges and Commissioners. 

     Pending approval, Commissioners may receive 13 hours of continuing education credits during the regular conference sessions and four additional continuing education hours for the early bird session.  

     Four judicial education credit hours for Judges have been approved. 

     The overall agenda includes 10 hours of credit toward Commissioners Court Advanced Curriculum Certification. 

     The V.G. Young Institute of County Government, a part of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, is the education program co-sponsor.
