 National Association of Counties * Washington, D.C. Vol. 31, No. 12 * June 21, 1999 Previous story | Table of Contents | Next story NACo members to elect officers, set policies
NACo member counties will elect officers and vote on national policies to be included in the American County Platform at the Annual Conference in St. Louis County, Mo., on Tuesday, July 20. To be eligible to vote, a county must be a paid member of NACo. Member counties are required to designate one of their elected officials to pick up and cast the county’s vote(s). A county may designate an alternate county official within its county, an official from another county within its state or its state association director or president to pick up credentials. The credentials documents contain the state and county name, the number of votes for the county and the name and signature of the person who picked up the credentials form. If the county is voting by proxy – that is, it is designating its state association executive director or a delegate from another county in the state to cast the county’s votes – both the county and the designee must be paid registrants of the conference. The designee will be required to present proof of registration prior to picking up credentials. Credentials forms were mailed to the chief elected officials of member counties May 25. After completing the form, please send your credentials identification forms to: Credentials Committee, c/o membership coordinator, National Association of Counties, 440 First St., N.W., Washington, DC 20001 or fax to Susan Parrish at 202/393-2630. NACo needs to receive this information by Friday, June 25. Questions regarding this process can be directed to Susan Parrish, membership coordinator, at 202/942-4242; or e-mail: sparrish@naco.org. |
