Maryland Association of Counties’ Executive Director Michael Sanderson recently attended the National Council for County Association Executives (NCCAE) Conference in Colorado Springs where

NACo Financial Services recognized several state associations of counties for their support of two flagship FSC programs, U.S. Communities and the NACo Deferred Compensation Program.

To highlight the associations that went above and beyond sponsorship requirements, Bill Jasien, NACo FSC’s interim managing director, presented customized engraved Louisville Slugger bats to key state association representatives. While many state associations do a great deal to support FSC programs, the bats acknowledged state associations that have “hit it out of the park.”
