  • County leaders to participate in accounting course this week
    Later this week, more than 70 county leaders will come together to participate in the County Government Education Institute’s “General Accounting” course. The two-day class, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday at 17 Springs in Millbrook, will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of essential government accounting concepts and best practices — with insights on budget preparation and oversight, financial statement analysis, reporting compliance, audit expectations and much more. A complete course agenda can be found here.


    Registration now open for 2026 Administrator Regional Meetings
    The schedule for this year’s Regional Meetings of the Association of County Administrators of Alabama (ACAA) is officially set and available here — and all County Administrative Staff are encouraged to register today for the meeting nearest them. Each year, ACAA’s Regional Meetings provide a valuable opportunity for Administrators from across the state to network with their peers, share lessons learned, and discuss current challenges and proven strategies in county administration. All Regional Meetings will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude with lunch at a nearby restaurant. Participation in the meetings is free; however, attendees are asked to R.S.V.P. in advance through the County Family online community to assist host counties in their planning. For questions or assistance related to Regional Meetings, please contact the ACCA Events/Education Team.
