ELECTED OFFICIALS:  LEVERAGING IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS

SAM ALBRECHT
COUNTY MANAGER
ELBERT COUNTY, CO

Sam Albrecht discusses working with Elected Officials and County Staff.

“You ask questions, you figure out what their priorities are and you try to align.”

Key Takeaways:

• Understand each elected official and their personalities.

• Be their biggest cheerleader! Cover them from political nature.

• Create a consistent communication schedule. Whether on a weekly or monthly basis, make sure you’re on the same page and show that you value their input.

• Allow them to focus on broader strategy, not the day to day things.
