2025 West Virginia Sheriffs’ Conference
TENTATIVE DATES: September 14-16, 2025 as we understand possible date needed by the WV State Auditor’s Office.
The 2025 Annual Conference of the West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association has not been set for the upcoming year. This Conference has recently been in conjunction with the WV State Auditor, for their mandated training offering called for in WV Code by the Auditor’s Office.
Registration and information will be forwarded by email from the WV State Auditor’s Office if the joint venture is continued. For Sheriffs and Sheriff’s Office staff, you should receive notice directly from either the Office of the State Auditor or the WV Sheriffs’ Asociation for registration and rooming information when it becomes available. You will also be forwarded the same information coming from the WV Sheriffs’ Association under separate email cover if nor oroginally generated by the Association. When receiving the notice, we suggest that you reserve as soon as possible to avoid any delays and that you get preferred rooming assignments.
For partners, sponsors and vendors interested in participating in this year’s conference, you will find the below links to a vendor letter as well and a link for a conference vendor registration form as soon as it becomes available. We welcome those trusted partners with the WVSA to join us during this time. The room block has typically been under the control and direction of the WV State Auditor’s Office and will be opened by their office as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, feel free to email Executive Director Rodney Miller at WVSheriffs@gmail.com and we will do the best we can to accommodate you and your organization.
Vendor Letter and Vendor Registration Forms will be shown in attachments to this posting.
Notice for all vendors: The WV Sheriffs’ Association Annual Conference and the WV Code mandated Annual Training by the Office of the West Virginia State Auditor is a collaboration of two events that work together to offer the best opportunities for training and networking with others from around West Virginia. With this collaboration the WVSA and the WVSAO respect parameters set by either organization. The training sessions prescribed by WV Code fall under the requirements and guidelines of the WV State Auditor’s Office and based upon past training sessions, the following policy has been put into effect for those sessions by the WVSAO, which we should clarify in advance. This is applicable to training sessions and is separate from business and other meetings held solely by the WVSA. Thank you for your cooperation.
Attendance Policy for Training Events Conducted by the West Virginia State Auditor’s Office: The West Virginia State Auditor’s Office provides training for many different groups. This training is targeted to a specific group of attendees, for instance, county or municipal officials. However, there are times when others may wish to attend such as interested constituents, consultants, commodity vendors, and service providers. All are welcome to attend our training events if we have available space. To attend, everyone must preregister, pay any associated registration costs and obtain registration credentials once they are on‐site. During the training sessions, any dialogue will be limited to members of the targeted audience and presenters only. Any other attendees not in the specific group must wait until after the presentation and any subsequent question and answer session is completed to address the presenters. This dialog must have prior approval by the presenter(s). Any questions concerning this policy should be directed to: ora.ash@wvsao.gov.
