Agenda Text
The Board is requested to recognize Durham County departments for their role in being named as 2023 National Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Award Winners. NACo awards are given in 18 different categories that reflect the vast, comprehensive services counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice and public safety, county administration, information technology, health, civic engagement, and more.
Durham County was named a NACo Achievement Award Winner for seven awards for the following programs: Delivery Management Application (Board of Elections), "County U" Program (Human Resources), Development of a Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan: The Devil is in the Details (Information Services and Technology), Durham County Business Recruitment (Economic Development), Durham County Government Implements a Managed Security Awareness Service (Information Services and Technology), Hacking Into History: Discovering Racial Covenants in Durham Property Deeds (Register of Deeds), and Read A. Bull Collectible Cards (Library).
Started in 1970, NACo's annual Achievement Awards program is designed to recognize county government innovations. Each nominee is judged on its own merits and not against other applications received. Durham County's Achievement Awards will be recognized during the NACo Annual Conference Achievement Awards Lunch and General Session held on Sunday, July 23, during the NACo Annual Conference and Expo (https://www.naco.org/events/2023-naco-annual-conference-exposition) in Travis County, Texas.
