Greetings to all members of the National Association of County Administrators (NACA). I hope you are entering spring renewed and well. NACA is here to assist in any way we can regarding creating additional professional development resources. Spring is a time of new beginnings and the growth of all things.

As you know, NACA provides us with a valuable network of professionals who have committed to public service, with whom we can share insights on county-specific management challenges and opportunities.

NACA encourages professional excellence to improve the management of county government. Our members are county administrators & managers from across the country, and many are members of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and their counties belong to the National Association of Counties (NACo).

For information on what we are involved in please check the NACA website at countyadministrators.org for information or follow us on LinkedIn. I very much value every member of this organization so please feel free to contact me with any ideas on how to make NACA more of a valued resource for you. County government provides so many critical and essential services so let’s all promote our work to the fullest extent possible!

As we all know May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Please check out Mental Health Awareness Month: County Participation Toolkit @ Mental Health Awareness Month: County Participation Toolkit | National Association of Counties (naco.org)

Thanks for your continued support. I look forward to seeing you all at the 2024 NACo Annual Conference on July 12-15 in Hillsborough County, Florida. I am looking forward to another large crowd for the Idea Exchange at the NACo Annual Conference this year.

Yours Truly,

Kenneth N. Wilson, MPA, CTA, ECI

President, NACA
