Do any of your states have, or are aware of, any training programs, courses, or other resources geared toward, or available to, commissioners/supervisors that cover the prevention of, response to, or recognition of harassment (sexual or otherwise)? Thanks!

In South Carolina, we have a state "Human Affairs Commission" that provides this type of training (for a fee of course). We send our districts directly there but not necessarily coordinated through us.

Here is the human affairs commission website: https://schac.sc.gov/

Let me know if you need anything further!

We publish a model personnel policy for districts. They can adopt all or parts of it. We have started a supervisor training and discussed strengthening this topic within the training.

In Washington state, the risk sharing pool for conservation districts, Enduris, provides trainings on a multitude of risk management topics, including discrimination, harassment, and retaliation prevention. As members, conservation districts receive this training for free. Enduris also provides in-person trainings upon request.
