Achievement Awards
Begun in 1970, the annual Achievement Award Program is a non-competitive awards program that recognizes innovative county government programs. Awards are given in a number of program categories such as arts and historic preservation, children and youth, community and economic development, jails-corrections, county administration, emergency management, environmental protection, health, human services, libraries, parks and recreation, transportation and volunteers.
2010 Applications
Due to the winter storms affecting numerous counties across the country, the application deadline for the 2010 Achievement Awards has been extended. Applications must now be postmarked by Feb. 26.
NACo is introducing a new application process this year that requires that part of the application information be completed online. Please see the Achievement Award Application instructions for detailed information.
This updated process requires submitting contact information and the title and category of the program in an online application. Payment by credit card can also be made online, but checks and purchase orders may still be mailed. The program narrative and any supplemental materials must still be mailed along with an e-mailed confirmation page. All applications and materials must be postmarked by Feb. 26, 2010.
When ready to apply, please complete the online application form available by clicking on "Upcoming Awards" link.
