NACo launches Solutions for Savings National Leadership Award

Learn More

In celebration of the 20th year of U.S. Communities, NACo has established a new national award for counties.

This award is designed to recognize counties that use NACo’s U.S. Communities purchasing program in creative ways to save taxpayer money and enhance the safety, health or overall well-being of citizens.

NACo will choose the first winner of the annual Solutions for Savings National Leadership Award by the end of November, and the award will go to the county that best shows how they are doing more with less taxpayer funds.

To enter, counties must create an informal, one-to-two-minute video to show their project or money-saving success story by Nov. 15. The winning county will achieve national recognition, an award plaque for permanent display and $1,000.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for NACo members to help other counties by sharing their purchasing success stories,” said NACo First Vice President Bryan Desloge. “We want counties that demonstrate innovative solutions for savings to gain the national recognition they deserve.”
