Information on NACo’s 2026-27 Presidential Appointments, in addition to general membership information for other NACo committees.

Each year, the incoming NACo President has the opportunity to make various leadership appointments. These appointments are for:

• Large Urban County Caucus, Rural Action Caucus and Midsize County Caucus chairs and vice chairs
• Standing Committee chairs and vice chairs
• Ad Hoc Committee, Task Force and Advisory Board chairs and vice chairs

NACo committees provide guidance and recommendations on federal policy issues, the NACo policy platform, and NACo programs, services, and initiatives. NACo’s How to Get Involved page provides the full details on the appointments process, the available appointments, and includes a link to the application.

CSAC leadership encourages California county leaders who are interested to apply for a NACo presidential appointment. It’s important for California to have strong representation with these various NACo committees and boards. Please make CSAC aware if you complete the application by emailing Korina Jones at kjones@counties.org. This will assist CSAC officers and staff in being able to advocate for California appointments. The deadline for completing the application is May 8 at 11:59pm EDT.
