Effingham Co., Ill. (ECWd) –
Press Release: January 18, 2024
Effingham County YouTube channel
Effingham, IL, January 18, 2024 –
This year, we see a new face of Effingham County with the launch of their new website. Along with this new, improved website, the County Board has also initiated a YouTube channel.
The initiation of this channel is to assist county residents in the viewing of all County Board Meetings of the Whole with continued efforts of the County to keep local residents informed and aware of their local governing actions.
It is the end goal to have County Board Meetings of the Whole livestreamed to allow local residents the opportunity to be a part of these public meetings real time. In order to live stream through YouTube, Effingham County will need local residents to subscribe to the channel. The minimum subscribers for livestream are fifty (50) subscribers.
“A fundamental part of a fair and effective government is transparency. This option to provide our meetings directly to members of the public will foster the trust placed in each elected member of the board. I encourage the public’s participation and subscription to our YouTube channel,” stated Josh Douthit, Effingham County Board Chairman.
The Effingham County YouTube channel can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@EffinghamCounty
The Effingham County YouTube channel can also be accessed through select meetings in the events calendar on the new Effingham County website at https://effinghamcountyil.gov/events/
