Our new focus on communications will further the voice of local government as well as the recognition of local officials. You’ve already seen the benefits of our new media relations network during the legislative session. Watch for template press releases that you can use with your local media to recognize your involvement in ACCG events like the Annual Meeting. Moving ahead, ACCG will develop annual campaigns designed to increase public awareness of local government programs and services. The plan also focuses on improving your bottom line by charging ACCG to further develop entrepreneurial partnerships for purchasing and service delivery. I am very pleased that our 95-yearold association will have a formal strategic plan in place. This plan is the result of the work of the ACCG Strategic Planning Committee, which began its development last March with assistance from the University of Georgia’s Fanning Institute. In developing the plan, the ACCG Board of Managers also engaged ACCG staff and key association members. There are so many things about ACCG that I consider essential. Now, with the adoption of our Strategic Plan, we are sure to have an even more influential, businesslike and effective organization of Georgia county governments. We all can look forward to taking ACCG “to the next level” as a result. ■ 6 GEORGIA COUNTY GOVERNMENT http://www.qpublic.net http://www.streetsmarts.us http://www.gbtengineers.com
