Looking Back & Looking Forward:
Eight Years as a County Commissioner

Presented by Xan Augerot, Former Benton County Commissioner

Serving as a County Commissioner was a rewarding role. My service spanned the COVID years, which provided both unprecedented challenges and opportunities for community investment. I was able to instigate new programs, leverage community initiatives and increase the effectiveness of County services. I will review the highs and lows and lessons learned and attempt to peek into the future.
