About the Special Districts Program
Advised & led by the widely recognized special district leaders and market experts.
The Special Districts Program is the first program designed for special district leaders across the United States. Special districts, such as port authorities, water, transit and park districts, make up the largest portion of government agencies. Through media, custom regional and national events, and an awards program, special districts leaders nationwide will now be able to connect, share and learn from one another like never before.
The Special Districts Program is advised by a board that represents special districts across the country.
