You must register for the conference before you can receive instructions for booking your hotel room.
Join the County and District Clerks' Association of Texas (CDCAT) for its 129th annual conference July 7-11 at the Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront. All education meetings and registration will take place at this venue.
County clerks, district clerks and combination clerks can earn continuing education credits to help fulfill their annual CE requirements. An integral part of this meeting will be the opportunity to network with your fellow clerks and exchange ideas that are helpful to you and your county. Conference sessions and speakers will offer comprehensive information on popular topics, upcoming changes that affect you directly, and areas of high interest in the clerk profession.
The conference theme is an extension of the fall and winter conferences' theme: Mission: Accomplished — Envisioning Success. This year's keynote speaker has one mission in mind: to unleash the hero in your midst. From military officer to corporate executive, Jim Bearden has learned why some people step up and others don't. An advocate for the heroic effort, Bearden helps leaders close the gap between what sounds good and what gets done. Other sessions will cover reporting, risk management and learning negotiation skills.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from exceptional speakers and take in breathtaking views of Lake Ray Hubbard!
