In preparation for the National Association of Counties (NACo) 2025 Annual Conference, we encourage members to get involved and have your voice heard in Washington by submitting a policy resolution or platform change.
All policy resolutions and platform changes must be submitted electronically using the form on this page by June 11.
The American County Platform is NACo’s permanent policy document. When necessary, it is amended at the annual meeting.
Platform changes are permanent amendments to the American County Platform that broadly guide NACo's federal advocacy efforts and publicly state NACo's general policy goals. To submit a platform change, please upload a Word document here. Please upload a document that utilizes the Word Track Changes feature to denote any additions or removals from the American County Platform.
Policy resolutions are generally single-purpose documents addressing a specific issue or piece of legislation. Resolutions draw attention to a topic of current concern, clarify parts of the broadly worded platform, or set policy in areas not covered by the platform. All interim policy resolutions submitted at the 2025 Legislative Conference must be renewed. To submit a policy resolution please utilize this portal.
Contact our Government Affairs staff with any questions regarding the policy resolution process.
