Travis Turner, chairman of White County, was recently reappointed as chair of the General County Government Policy Committee for the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia.
White County officials said ACCG President and Dougherty County Commissioner Clinton Johnson made the appointment.
“It is an honor to continue serving as Chair of the General County Government Policy Committee,” said White County Chairman Travis Turner. “This committee plays a critical role in shaping policies that strengthen local governance across our state. I look forward to working alongside Vice-Chair Perdue, my fellow committee members and the ACCG staff to advocate for the needs of Georgia’s counties. I greatly appreciate ACCG President Clinton Johnson’s support and confidence in appointing me to this leadership role."
Georgia’s County Commission policy committees develop positions on issues impacting county government through a consensus-based policy development process.
The General County Government Committee works to address issues involving the structure of county government and intergovernmental relations between counties, constitutional officers, the courts, and federal, state and city governments.
“Advocacy is a foundational aspect of our organization, and our policy committee leaders are essential to our advocacy efforts,” Executive Director Dave Wills said. “ACCG prioritizes being a member-driven and focused organization. The Governmental Affairs staff is eager to collaborate with these new leaders to help impact change on issues of significance to all Georgia counties.”
Chairman Turner will lead the General County Government Policy Committee, alongside Houston County Chairman Dan Perdue, who has been chosen as vice chair.
