NCACC Associate Membership Program FAQ
What is the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners? Founded in 1908, the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners is one of the most successful and active statewide local government associations in the nation. The NCACC was established for the betterment of county government in North Carolina. All 100 counties – and not individual county officials – are members of the Association. It is this strength in unity that makes the Association so effective. The NCACC is the only organization that represents all 100 county governments in North Carolina. Why should I become an Associate Member? An Associate Membership with the NCACC puts you in touch with the key decision-makers – commissioners, managers, finance and budget officers, purchasing officers, personnel directors, IT directors and attorneys. The Association believes that helping nurture a strong relationship with the private sector will prove beneficial to all North Carolinians in the long run. As the demands on county government become more complex, officials are always seeking new, cost-effective ways to provide these services to their citizens. The NCACC’s Associate Membership Program will give your organization exposure and access to county officials. Does your company do business with North Carolina counties? Are you looking to expand those opportunities? Associate members will enjoy unique access to North Carolina’s county leaders, with access to all NCACC meetings. Associate members will receive priority on booth space at the exhibit show and will be notified of sponsorship opportunities at Annual Conference and other NCACC meetings before non-members. In addition, Associate Members will be listed twice yearly in CountyLines, our monthly publication that is mailed to all commissioners, managers and department heads, in our Annual Directory, in the program for our Annual Conference and on our Web site. The Web site listing will include a link to your corporate Web site. How much does an Associate Membership cost? The annual fee is $750. What do I receive for my membership? Associate members receive numerous benefits from joining the Association, including advance registration for the exhibit show at our Annual Conference and the opportunity to submit proposals for workshops at our Annual Conference. In addition, Associate members receive a free copy of our Annual Directory and the chance to purchase additional copies at a discounted rate, a free subscription to CountyLines, free access to our mailing lists of county officials, a free e-mail subscription to our Legislative Bulletin (produced weekly while the General Assembly is in session), a discount on advertising in CountyLines, the chance to register for our conferences and meetings at the County rate and more. Download the membership application and submit it, along with the $750 annual application fee, to the Association at the address on the form. Membership is on a yearly basis and must be renewed each year. Can anybody become an Associate Member? No. The NCACC retains the right to refuse associate membership status to any applicant for any reason including, but not limited to, companies or firms whose business competes with services offered or endorsed by the NCACC. Furthermore, NCACC retains the right to terminate its Associate Member relationship with any Associate Member for any reason and at any time. Should NCACC choose to terminate its Associate Member relationship with any Associate Member, membership fees will not be returned, in whole or in part. |
