WACo's mission is to serve counties, and our staff is proud to serve the hardest working public officials in America. NACo is working to help counties in a number of ways through legislative representation, special projects, research, conferences, and technical assistance. NACo promotes counties and helps them prepare for the future through a number of programs.

This Annual Report summarizes NACo's accomplishments during the past 12 months. I hope that you find it interesting and informative. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the NACo staff.
