Le Sueur County receives MCIT County of the Year honor

Le Sueur County will be honored Monday, Dec. 3 during the Minnesota Counties Intergovernmental Trust (MCIT) Annual Meeting in Bloomington.

MCIT announced last week that Le Sueur County has been selected as the 2018 County of the Year.

"The county has distinguished itself in the areas of loss control, risk management, claims administration, and responsiveness to MCIT," MCIT Executive Director Robyn M. Sykes said. "MCIT commends the county's commitment to managing exposures that jeopardize employees and citizens of the county to loss."

MCIT is governed by a board of nine individuals elected or appointed from counties that participate in the trust.

The organization offers members access to a variety of services that are provided with its membership.
