Participants give high marks to first-ever
DMV County Leadership Conference

The first DMV County Leadership Conference was held last week in Boise for more than 150 county and DMV leaders, and participants gave the event outstanding reviews.

The day-and-a-half event, meant to improve communication, collaboration and the sharing of best practices among county partners and ITD, featured 28 speakers and two breakout sessions.

In the conference evaluation, 100% of the respondents thought the conference was well organized; 96% believed the conference topics were relevant and would be used in their jobs; and 98% want to participate in a similar conference next year.

“I am extremely pleased with the conference,” DMV Administrator Alberto Gonzalez said. “People actively participated, asked questions and developed new partnerships. We gained a renewed sense of achievement in our past accomplishments and an optimistic view of the future.”

Comments from the county participants included:

- “The conference was fabulous. I think a lot has been accomplished in bridging the gap between ITD and the counties. I have only heard good comments from all who I have spoken with. I truly hope you continue them (the conferences).”

- “Thank you taking the time to get us all together. I think this is a big step in the right direction to bring all of the Idaho DMV offices together and to have ownership of how things are done and feel part of one team.”

- “The breakout sessions were great. I got to meet new people and develop new ideas.”

- “I really enjoyed every aspect of this conference. I loved the variety of speakers and county examiner involvement.”

- “I have a list of at least 15 items I plan to take back to my office and share with my co-workers.”
