Celebrate National County Government Month in April

Counties across North Carolina will be celebrating National County Government Month in April. Since 1991, the National Association of Counties (NACo) has encouraged counties across the country to actively promote county government programs and services. Formerly National County Government Week, the designation was expanded to a full month for 2010 to offer more counties more opportunities to plan and participate.

During April, the NCACC will be announcing the winners of its 2010 Outstanding County Program Awards competition, as well as the winner of its 2010 County Government Essay Contest for 10th grade students.

Healthy Counties is the theme for this year's celebration. To help counties with ideas on how to celebrate this month, NACo has created a 2010 National County Government Month Handbook. This handbook contains ideas and tips on how your county can celebrate National County Government Month.
