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.

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.
