Legislator Thomas Abinanti, a Greenburgh Democrat, was appointed to serve in three National Association of Counties, or NACo positions – a vice chair of the Health Steering Committee, a member of the Membership Committee and a member of the Programs and Services Committee.Â
“These are new opportunities to influence NACo policy-and through it the Federal Government-to help our Westchester residents,† Abinanti said in a release announcing the appointments yesterday. “We all need to use the means available to redirect our national government to meet the needs of our local communities.â€
According to the release, the Health Committee is a public policy committee that reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on the position that NACo and its Washington lobbying staff should take on public health issues. The Membership Committee is a committee charged with recruitment and retention of county members. Â The Programs and Services Committee makes recommendations on programs and projects for NACo to pursue that will help counties.
 The Journal News this weekend published a story relating to county travel to NACo conferences. Read it here.Â
