Alabama Local Government Training Institute

The Alabama Local Government Training Institute (ALGTI) and the Center for Governmental Services at Auburn University, provide training and professional development for Alabama county commissioners. There are currently two programs: the fifty-hour State mandated Commissioner Education Program for all newly elected commissioners; and the seventy-hour Commissioner Graduate Program. The goals of the ALGTI education program are to: (a) Develop and maintain high standards of public service among county commissioners; (b) Increase knowledge about the roles and responsibilities of county commissioners; (c) Provide an information base for policy making; and (d) Improve the overall administration and delivery of county services.
