Local Government Impacts of Federal Actions: The Latest
a CSMFO webinar
10:00-11:30 a.m., Thursday, December 18, 2025
If you attended the first webinar on this topic in June, you were introduced to the multifaceted impacts of tariffs and learned about some effective strategies for navigating them. That session provided insights into the mechanics of tariffs, their direct and indirect effects, and actionable responses to mitigate potential challenges.
As promised, the second installment is here! You won’t want to miss December’s FREE 90-minute webinar, designed to help you further understand and respond to the real-world impacts of trade policies, including tariffs, on your community. So much more is known now, six months later.
What you’ll gain:
- Clear breakdown of how tariffs work
- Insights into their direct and indirect economic impacts
- Understanding of timing delays (like the 90-day lag)
- Guidance on local economic effects
- Smart, data-driven strategies to mitigate challenges
This is your chance to equip your organization with the tools to navigate economic uncertainty. This session will provide essential insights to help you respond proactively to economic changes. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions for your organization or community.
