Q What is the value of CROAA membership for a county that doesn’t self-collect? A CROAA provides valuable education to elected officials and staff members regarding laws and rules that are applicable to their county. Members of CROAA are also notified of new bills or amendments that could potentially affect their county’s revenue. Q A What does “67 counties, One voice” mean to you? The ACCA is a great organization that hears all counties’ needs. As “ONE Voice,” we can work together on important topics and share goals moving forward. Alabama counties can accomplish so much more as a team than any county could individually. n 0:00 SPEED DRILL with Kim Creech Favorite college football team: Auburn | Cats or dogs?
