Executive Summary:
All California counties are active members of the National Association of Counties (NACo) with a county designee for purposes of general assembly voting. Supervisor Pyska will be serving on the Environment, Energy and Land Use Committee. Supervisor Sabatier will be serving on the Health Committee.
NACo Steering Committees have monthly virtual meetings and two in-person meetings per year at the Legislative Conference in Washington DC and the Annual Conference in the summer. Steering Committee members hear presentations, learn best practices, and engage in key discussions with federal policy leaders and county leaders from around the country. At in-person meetings, committees consider and vote on policy resolutions and platform changes that guide NACo’s federal advocacy efforts. California members serve as CSAC representatives and are asked to convey the CSAC recommended positions while voting on policy resolutions.
