County Commission | The Magazine March 2019

FROM THE COVER s an important part of ensuring that the Alabama Legislature is constantly hearing from “67 Counties, One Voice,” the Association is once again hosting County Days during the 2019 Legislative Session. Each county has been assigned one day to come to Montgomery and “walk the halls” to help make sure all your legislators are aware of – and supporting – the interests of county government. All county commissioners, affiliate group members and other key staff are encouraged to participate and join us at the Statehouse on your day. The schedule begins at 11 a.m. in the new ACCA office at 2 North Jackson Street with lunch and a briefing from ACCA staff. Participants will receive a notebook with up-to-the-minute information on the status of ACCA and Danger Bills. At noon, the group will walk down the hill to the Statehouse for lobbying and afternoon committee meetings. In addition, ACCA staff will be available in Studio 67 for video filming and social media assistance. There is no registration fee for County Days, but ACCA will get a head count for the day to facilitate lunch. An overnight stay should not be necessary. More details will be distributed as each County Day draws near, but please get this date on your calendar and make plans now to participate in this important event. If your county would like to meet with any particular legislators while you are in Montgomery, you are encouraged to contact the legislators at least one week in advance of your County Day to make sure they will have time to meet with you. n 20 | MARCH 2019 LAUDERDALE MADISON JACKSON LIMESTONE COLBERT LAWRENCE FRANKLIN MORGAN DEKALB MARSHALL CULLMAN MARION CHEROKEE WINSTON ETOWAH BLOUNT WALKER CALHOUN ST.
