The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) invites Oregon counties to join us as we celebrate National County Government Month (NCGM) during the month of April. Since 1991, the National Association of Counties (NACo) has encouraged counties to use this month of recognition to actively promote your roles and responsibilities in serving residents. Tell your county’s story, champion your county workforce, and boost civic engagement through news stories, outreach events, and on your social media. Remember to use the hashtag #NCGM and tag us in your social posts. We will share as many as we can on our social media.
NACo offers many resources to help counties celebrate and plan activities to highlight the essential role counties play across every part of community life, including featured celebrations from counties in past years, a toolkit with templates, educational resources, and more.
