What does SDAO do?

SDAO, an organization dedicated to empowering local governments, offers a range of services aimed at enhancing their capabilities and fostering collaboration. A key aspect of SDAO's work involves advocacy with state administrative agencies and other governmental units, ensuring that the voices and needs of local governments are heard and addressed.

These information resources are designed to be user-friendly and accessible, ensuring that local government officials can easily access the information they need to make informed decisions.

Through advocacy efforts, SDAO strives to promote policies and initiatives that benefit local communities, supporting their growth and development. This advocacy work is carried out through various channels, including direct engagement with policymakers and representation at relevant forums and conferences.

Furthermore, SDAO offers a range of support programs to assist local governments in achieving their goals. These programs may include grant funding, technical assistance, and networking opportunities, all of which are designed to help local governments overcome challenges and succeed.

In addition to advocacy, SDAO also provides training programs tailored to the unique needs of local governments. These training sessions cover a wide range of topics, from financial management and budgeting to leadership development and community engagement.
