    • August 1 is deadline for counties to select ACCA Legislative Committee representative
    Attention, Commission Members and Administrators! One month remains to select your county’s representative for the 2025-2026 ACCA Legislative Committee and to submit his or her name to the Association staff. Legislative Committee members will be tasked with voicing their county’s legislative needs and concerns, helping construct the 2026 County Platform and leading grassroots efforts to aid in the passage of pro-county legislation. The dedicated work of the Legislative Committee is essential to the policy success of all 67 counties, so counties should only nominate their most engaged and enthusiastic representative. To notify the Association of your county’s Legislative Committee representative, simply complete this form and submit it by August 1 to ACCA’s Policy and Member Services Assistant, Lisa Fiore.

    County leaders reminded to contact ACCA for any necessary Convention hotel room cancellations
    As the ACCA 97th Convention draws closer, the waiting list grows longer for hotel rooms at the Perdido Beach Resort. For this reason, county leaders who have a Perdido room reservation and discover that they no longer need the room are asked to kindly contact the ACCA Events/Education Team (not the hotel) to cancel their room reservation. Cancelling the room through ACCA will ensure the room is provided to a fellow County Family member at the discounted rate.

     

    ACCA offices closed Friday
    The ACCA offices will be closed this Friday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day. The ACCA offices will reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, July 7.
