GET INVOLVED!
Join a NACo Steering Committee
Now is the time to get active in the National Association of Counties (NACo) by joining a steering committee!
If you have interest in a specific issue, expertise on a certain topic, or concerns about the impact of federal legislative and policy decisions on your county, then you should consider joining one of NACo's policy steering committees.
Serving on one of these committees enables you to become actively involved in NACo's policy process. The steering committees begin the NACo policy process by reviewing federal legislation and policy, and making recommendations on issues that impact counties.
If you are already a member of a committee, you must reapply now, as appointees serve one year terms. However, you can be reappointed to the same committee for consecutive years. This current nomination process covers appointments from August 2013 to July 2014. The NACo steering committees are listed below:
* Agriculture & Rural Affairs
* Community & Economic Development
* Environment, Energy & Land Use
* Finance & Intergovernmental Affairs
* Health
* Human Services & Education
* Justice & Public Safety
* Labor & Employment
* Public LandsTelecommunications & Technology
* Transportation Steering Committee
How to Join a Steering Committee
The process of joining a steering committee is simple. You must first apply through your state association of counties. Here are the important points to remember:
* You should mark on the
nomination form your first and second choice of steering committee
* Members of NACo affiliate organizations who want to serve on a steering committee should follow the same process
NACo makes every effort to accommodate nominees' first choice of steering committee assignments. Committee appointees serve for one year and cannot transfer membership to another committee, or serve on more than one steering committee, during that year.
