What are Platform Changes and Policy Resolutions

Ahead of the National Association of Counties (NACo) 2026 Annual Conference, NACo members are invited to submit policy resolutions and platform changes to be considered during the conference.  

The NACo resolutions process is an opportunity for members to participate in national policy decisions impacting county governments. During the Annual Conference, NACo’s ten policy steering committees, the Board of Directors and the general membership will consider proposed policy resolutions and platform changes that will determine NACo’s federal advocacy for the coming year.  

The American County Platform and the associated policy resolutions are statements of the needs and interests of county governments across the nation. These federal policy statements serve as guides for NACo members and staff to advance NACo’s policy priorities with Congress, the White House and federal agencies. 

The period to submit proposed policy resolutions and platform changes closed on June 17. To submit an emergency resolution, please reach out to a member of NACo’s Government Affairs team.
