White County Commission Chairman Travis Turner has been reappointed to serve as chair of the General County Government Policy Committee for the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG), also known as Georgia’s County Association.
Turner’s appointment was made by ACCG President and Dougherty County Commissioner Clinton Johnson. He will continue leading the committee alongside newly appointed Vice Chair Dan Perdue, chairman of Houston County.
“It is an honor to continue serving as Chair of the General County Government Policy Committee,” Turner said. “This committee plays a critical role in shaping policies that strengthen local governance across our state.”
The General County Government Committee focuses on issues related to the structure of county government and its relationships with constitutional officers, courts, and other levels of government. It also addresses areas such as elections, ethics, home rule, service delivery, and planning and zoning.
ACCG Executive Director Dave Wills praised the importance of policy committee leaders, saying, “Advocacy is a foundational aspect of our organization, and our policy committee leaders are essential to our advocacy efforts.”
Through a collaborative, consensus-based process, ACCG’s policy committees develop the association’s official policy priorities, which guide its legislative advocacy efforts on behalf of Georgia counties.
