As part of the review process, the committee and management focused on strengthening the association’s strategic focus, deepening member engagement, clarifying the purpose, structure and roles of each committee, and adapting for new and evolving county priorities. Ultimately, this process is intended to align the association’s platforms for sustained member engagement, impact and value with the proper allocation of resources — time, money and staffing.

Members are encouraged to download and review the detailed proposed amendments. Your participation is crucial, as final approval of these amendments will occur during the Annual Business Meeting at the 2025 NACo Annual Conference in Philadelphia.

We invite all members to actively engage in this important governance process, ensuring NACo continues to effectively represent and support counties nationwide. 

Join us at the conference, contribute your insights and help shape the future of our association.
