The Friend of the Counties Award was created to encourage noncounty persons and organizations to take significant actions that advance the interests of counties and the association. Any person or organization in North Carolina or the Unites States who or which is not directly associated with North Carolina county government or the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) is eligible to receive the award. Selection shall be made each year by the NCACC president after consultation with the NCACC officers. The award shall be presented at the association’s annual conference each year. An appropriate plaque and/or certificate shall commemorate the award.
