$59,000 spentof which $59,000 as grants98% of program spendingIn 2024 rock county first provided several educational events that were open to the public. These events featured guest speakers who spoke on topics directly connected with our mission to inform and educate citizens about their local government. Rock county first ran three volunteer-led workgroups. The candidates and campaign workgroup organized events that helped educate citizens about how to run for local office and to explain the requirements different local bodies have for submitting nomination papers. The watchdog workgroup organized meetings which included "watchers and "researchers" who would attend local government body meetings (I.e., school board, city council, etc.) and provide information as to what information was being discussed. The recruit and retain workgroup organized meetings aimed at creating a higher turnout at our public educational events and conducted advertising about our guest speakers.
