Lincoln County Commissioner Elected To Statewide Board

Lincoln County Commissioner James A. Klein was elected to a two-year term to the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners during the NCACC’s 101st Annual Conference, which was held Aug. 21-24 in Craven County. Klein will represent District 12, which includes Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly and Union counties.

A District Director is responsible for staying in touch with commissioners from the district to discern issues that need to be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors. They are responsible for keeping Association staff informed about matters of interest or concern in their districts and are responsible for representing the Association with other interested parties and organizations at the local level, such as municipalities and regional planning organizations.

The Association’s Board of Directors is comprised of five officers, 18 district directors, five at-large appointees and several other members who either serve on the Board of Directors of the National Association of Counties or chair NCACC committees.

The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners is the official voice of all 100 counties on issues being considered by the General Assembly and state and federal agencies. The Board of Directors meets several times throughout the year to develop statewide policy goals in such areas as taxation, agriculture, environment, criminal justice, human resources and public education.
