ACCA unveils first-ever annual report
Have you heard? The Association has released its first-ever annual report! Titled a “Legacy of Leadership” and dedicated to the former long-time ACCA Executive Director Buddy Sharpless, the report provides a look at the many accomplishments of county government over the past year, as well as a historical perspective that speaks to the years of hard work necessary to make these successes a reality. Printed copies were made available to those in attendance at this month’s ACCA Legislative Conference and will be made available during next month’s ACCA District Meetings. But in the meantime, county leaders who have yet to receive a copy are encouraged to enjoy this digital version of the report and to take note of the monumental strides that can be made when all 67 counties stand together and speak with ONE Voice. To learn more about the making of the annual report and the inspiration behind it, be sure to tune in to the November episode of the 2 North Jackson Podcast
