Who’s Who in Illinois County Government
There are several different kinds of elected officials and appointed officials that carry out the functions of county government in Illinois. Many county officials are open to laypersons, while other require special training or professional standing. Some positions have additional requirements, and they are followed by their prerequisites.
Elected officials develop a working knowledge of state and federal laws, legislation, technology, policies, and procedures to increase the effectiveness of the county. Board members, in particular, need to acquire a clear understanding of the Illinois Constitution, the Illinois Counties Code, the Illinois Open Meetings Act and the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. A good working knowledge of the rules of parliamentary procedure is also important.
