With a potential pool of more than 570 candidates, it is difficult to choose a winner for the annual Outstanding County Commissioner Award, which is presented each year during the President's Banquet at the NCACC Annual Conference. For the NCACC officers, who make the selection each year based on nominations from counties and NCACC staff, 2010 was no different. Once again it was extremely difficult to choose one winner – so they picked two.
