Travis Turner, chairman of the White County Board of Commissioners, has been appointed by the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) to lead the General County Government Committee.
The announcement was made Thursday by ACCG President David Sikes of Toombs County.
The General County Government Committee is responsible for addressing issues involving county government and intergovernmental relations, elections, ethics, home rule, service delivery, planning and zoning, and other key issues impacting county government.
“I am excited about being able to continue to collaborate with fellow commissioners and use our expertise to enhance the effectiveness of county governance across Georgia,” Turner said in a statement. “Together, we can address the challenges we face and implement solutions that benefit all our communities. I greatly appreciate ACCG President Sikes’ continued confidence.”
Turner was elected to the White County Commission in 2009 and has served in numerous other county and state government leadership positions, including on the State and Local Workforce Investment Board and the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority.
He will lead the ACCG General County Government Committee alongside Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Blake Elsberry, who was named vice chair.
The ACCG provides a variety of services to county governments, including public policy and legislative advocacy, leadership development, civic and community engagement initiatives, and insurance and retirement programs.
