County Family members encouraged to continue registering for County Advocacy Days

County Family members are encouraged to continue registering for an ACCA County Advocacy Day by navigating to the “2023 Legislative Session” tab on the County Family online community. Throughout the 2023 Legislative Session, the Association will host County Advocacy Days on the dates listed below:

• March 28 (CANCELLED)
• April 4
• April 11
• May 2
• May 9 (NEW)
• May 16
• June 6

County leaders are urged to select at least one day to visit Montgomery and “walk the halls” of the Alabama Legislature to ensure their legislators are consistently aware of — and supporting — the interests of county government when considering legislation. 

All County Advocacy Days will take place on a Tuesday this year. Each event will begin at 11:30 a.m. with lunch and a legislative briefing at ACCA Headquarters and will be followed by lobbying at the Alabama Statehouse at 1 p.m. Please contact ACCA’s Events and Education Team with questions. 

County leaders travel to Prattville for CGEI classes

County leaders from across the state will travel to Prattville on Wednesday for the County Government Education Institute’s (CGEI) classes on General Accounting and Legal Considerations of Local Revenue.

A majority of county leaders traveling to Prattville will attend the CGEI: General Accounting class to receive a basic introduction to government accounting and learn a variety of related accounting skill sets. County Revenue Officers will be in Prattville for the CGEI CROAA: Legal Considerations of Local Revenue class to learn more about various research techniques, collection methods and procedures to follow when a taxpayer files for bankruptcy. Please contact ACCA’s Events and Education Team with questions before this week’s scheduled classes.
