Providing high quality and comprehensive educational opportunities for county commissioners and staff is a high priority for the Association. To that end, in 1990, FAC created the Florida Counties Foundation (FCF), a private, non-profit 501c3, which is our training and technical assistance arm. The mission of FCF is to “enhance the leadership skills of county officials, to facilitate innovative thinking and action by those leaders, and, ultimately to enable counties to prosper as communities in the 21st century."
