Encourage your citizens to channel their energy by making a com- <br />mitment to work at the polls. There is no greater expression of free- <br />dom and liberty than our electoral process <br /> Nationally, NACo will celebrate County Government Week in a <br />number of different ways. We will highlight the recommendations <br />and best practices arising from our Homeland Security Task Force <br />and promote our Expand Democracy campaign to recruit poll work' <br />ers across the country. <br /> Also, we will hold the 3rd Annual Acts of Caring Awards cer- <br />emony on Capitol Hill during County Government Week. These awards <br />recognize the top county volunteer programs in the country. <br /> First celebrated in 1990, NCGW was initiated to raise public aware- <br />ness about counties.. Urban and rural counties, counties from differ- <br />ent regions and encompassing varied constituencies, we represent <br />diverse and vibrant communities. NCGW helps our citizens better <br />understand how their county responds tO their needs-- and, by ex- <br />tension, how counties across America serve their nation. <br /> There are many ways to celebrate county government. This booklet <br />provides ideas for a variety of different programs, and we look for- <br />ward to hearing about your innovative projects. Your county is one of <br />more than 1,000 counties each year participate in NCGW to help citi- <br />zens better understand the valuable services that counties provide. <br /> Thank you for your participation in National County Government Week. <br /> <br />Javier Gonzales <br />NACo President <br />Commissioner, Santa Fe County, NM <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
