Washington County Commissioner Allen Bailey has been elected to serve as a member of the Association of County Commissions of Alabama's Legislative Committee.

The Association's Legislative Committee is composed of a chairman, the Association's past presidents still serving in county government and a representative from each of ACCA's 12 districts. The Legislative Committee works in concert with six steering committees to formulate the Association's legislative agenda for the upcoming year.

Commissioner Bailey represents ACCA District 10, which includes Baldwin, Butler, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Escambia, Marengo, Monroe, Washington and Wilcox Counties.

"The majority of the members of the Legislative Committee and the steering committees are appointed and serve as volunteers," said ACCA Executive Director Sonny Brasfield. "These volunteers range from elected officials to commission staff such as county administrators, engineers, 9-1-1 directors, EMA directors and revenue officers. They log a lot of hours on these committees in order to help the Association put together the best possible plan to protect county resources and put our best foot forward during the upcoming legislative session."

The Association of County Commissions of Alabama is a statewide organization representing county government in Alabama. ACCA promotes improved county government services in Alabama, offers educational programs for county officials and their staff members, administers insurance programs for county governments and employees, offers legal advice, and represents the interests of county government before state and federal organizations and agencies. The activities of the Association are governed by a board of directors composed of three officers, past presidents and representatives elected from 12 Alabama districts.
