The National Association of Counties' (NACo) policy steering committees cover a myriad of domestic policy issues impacting county governments and local communities. Committees meet at least twice a year to review and make recommendations on public policy issues and legislation. The policy development process initiated by the steering committees is the foundation for the American County Platform, which drives NACo's advocacy work.
Seven South Carolina county officials were recently appointed to four different NACo policy steering committees.
