NYSAC Recognized for Excellence in Government Relations
The New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) is proud to be the recipient of the 2013 Association Excellence Award in Government Relations, awarded by the Empire State Society of Association Executives (ESSAE).

The award, presented at ESSAE’s Annual Meeting on February 7, recognizes NYSAC’s work during the 2012 State Legislative session, specifically the mandate relief advocacy brief campaign developed by NYSAC’s staff and leadership to educate State lawmakers on the issues that impact counties.

“As the voice of county leaders throughout New York State, NYSAC is steadfast in communicating our challenges and recommendations to State lawmakers. NYSAC did an outstanding job speaking out for New York’s counties over the past year,” said Rensselaer County Executive Kathleen Jimino.

There are helpful actions in the 2013-14 Executive State Budget proposal released today and we look forward to working with the State Legislature during the budget negotiation process. County leaders are pleased that the Governor continues to recognize the impact unfunded mandates are having in our communities. Fully implementing the 2012 County Medicaid Relief Act, along with other initiatives announced by the Governor today, will have positive long term fiscal benefits at the local level.
