Every April, Nationwide County Authorities Month, celebrates the work of county authorities staff in communities throughout the nation.
Since 1991, the Nationwide Affiliation of Counties (NACo) has inspired their members to advertise county companies and packages to residents and use this month to teach and join with their communities.
This yr’s theme, “Counties RISE!,” stands for Resiliency, Inclusion, Solvency, and Empowerment. And the exclamation level captures the passion and fervour for native county tales. From occasions to social media to proclamations, get to know extra about your native county this month!
Simply one of many many choices of NACo is the “I Love My County Because” wall calendar, composed of paintings from college students in grade Okay-12. Individuals for the Arts is thrilled to sponsor this calendar for the second yr in a row. Every county official obtained a calendar, so should you’re visiting your county places of work, search for it!
