Thank you for your dedication to your county and counties across America through your membership in the National Association of Counties (NACo).
While you serve your county in vast ways, I ask you to strongly consider submitting your name for a leadership position at NACo.
Together, we can achieve results for our counties and the people we serve each and every day.
These appointments are for:
-
Policy Steering Committee chairs and vice chairs and subcommittee chairs and vice chairs
-
Large Urban County Caucus (LUCC) and Rural Action Caucus (RAC) chairs and vice chairs
-
Standing Committee chairs and vice chairs

At-Large NACo Board Directors
Below is more information about each committee. Each term is for one year, July–July. Committee leaders must cover their own travel and conference expenses.

IMPORTANT:
Policy steering committee membership is not a part of this application process. State associations of counties are responsible for nominating general members
of policy steering committees.
To become a member of a policy steering committee you must contact your state association. They will submit the nomination to NACo.

The

members of the steering committee will be given preference in consideration for these appointments. The applicant should be willing to help coordinate leadership conference calls, develop meeting agendas and participate in outreach with federal officials,
if necessary. These appointments are for one year.
