Accor names nine to NCACC Board of Directors

NCACC President Mary Accor of Cleveland County announced in September her at-large appointments and her steering committee chairs for 2009-10.

Her at-large directors include several returnees to the NCACC Board of Directors and two newcomers. Past President Kitty Barnes (Catawba), Cleveland County Chair Jo Boggs and Currituck County Commissioner Owen Etheridge have previously served on the Board, while Granville Commissioner Tony Cozart and Dare Commissioner Virginia Tillett are newcomers.

Steering committee chairs are:

• Agriculture: Ray Jeffers, Person
• Environment: Chuck McGrady, Henderson
• Human Services: Viola Harris, Edgecombe
• Intergovernmental Relations: First Vice President Brian McMahan, Jackson
• Justice and Public Safety: Hubert Sealy, Robeson
• Public Education: Second Vice President Kenneth Edge, Cumberland
• Tax and Finance: President Elect Joe Bryan, Wake

The Board of Directors relies on steering committees for guidance and recommendations on issues within policy areas. Beginning this year, steering committees will meet quarterly to gather and consider information on emerging county-related issues, monitor the progress of the adopted legislative goals that emanated from their committee, and examine pending or proposed legislation that could impact county government.

Steering committees provide the greatest opportunity for individual county officials to become involved with the NCACC. Membership is open to all commissioners and county staff who might have a particular interest or expertise. NCACC staff provides administrative and technical support to each committee.

If you are interested in joining a committee, contact Alisa Cobb at (919) 715-2893 or alisa.cobb@ncacc.org. Commissioners may serve on more than one steering committee. If you served on a committee last year, you will remain on that committee unless you request to be removed.
