The Conflict of Interest portion of the training will consist of reviewing real life conflict questions and how to apply the Conflict of Interest Act.
You will leave this training with a better understanding of how to apply both acts in your local government service.

Conflict of Interests Act training module available
The Virginia Conflict of Interests Act regulates the financial relationship of council members and mayors with their city or town and with any other governmental agency that is related to the city or town. The act is intended to be the one-stop-shopping law for a council member’s financial involvement in dealings with the city or town.
The training module for state officer and employees may be accessed on the Virginia Conflict of Interest and Ethics Advisory Council’s website here.
