  • County leaders to chart 2025 legislative course this week in Montgomery
    The 2025 Alabama County Platform, which will guide the legislative efforts of the ACCA staff and county leaders throughout the coming session, will be voted upon by the full Association membership this week at the ACCA Legislative Conference in Montgomery. All counties are urged to have a representative present to cast their county’s vote during the critical business session scheduled for Thursday, December 12, at 11:30 a.m. in the Alabama CDE Ballroom of the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel.  


    Three separate educational events to bring county leaders to Montgomery this week 
    This week, more than 400 county leaders will travel to Montgomery to participate in a series of educational opportunities designed to strengthen government knowledge and operations at the local level. Tuesday and Wednesday will feature an orientation course for county commissioners newly elected this year, as well as a winter workshop for county professionals in the emergency management field. Upon the conclusion of these events, the Association’s annual two-day Legislative Conference will kick off Wednesday afternoon and bring together the entire Alabama County Family to set priorities for the coming legislative session. The agendas for all of this week’s events have been finalized and can be easily accessed by clicking on the relevant event listed below.
