NACo Policy Steering Committees

NACo has 10 policy steering committees and 21 other committees covering a wide range of county issues. Policy steering committee members are nominated by state associations and serve one-year terms. Any committee or subcommittee chairs and vice chairs are appointed by the NACo President.

Policy steering committees review and make recommendations on federal policy issues and legislation like transportation, infrastructure, healthcare, public safety and public lands management. They start the policy development process leading to the development of the American County Platform, which guides the county government message presented to the Administration, Congress, U.S. Courts and the American public.

To serve on a policy steering committee, you must submit a nomination form to FAC. It is then approved by the Executive Director at FAC and forwarded to NACo for consideration. Please mark on the nomination form your first and second choice for which policy steering committee you would like to serve. Only eight individuals from any state (including up to two from any one county) can serve on a particular committee. NACo will notify you of your appointment in September.
