NACA President Kenneth Wilson
Greetings to all members of the National Association of County Administrators (NACA). I am pleased to serve as your President and hope to successfully represent this organization during my tenure.
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).
We are all proud to provide support for professionally administered county government. NACA is valuable in several ways such as providing a peer network of professional county administrators and promoting professional development and recognition of very critical work performed by you all daily in the nation’s counties.
