Macomb County Clerk-Rod issued the following announcement on June 13.
The Macomb County Clerk & Register of Deeds Office has been recognized by the National Association of Counties (NACo) with four national Achievement Awards, Macomb County Clerk & Register of Deeds Fred Miller announced today.
The Macomb County Clerk’s Office was recognized in the ‘County Administration and Management,’ ‘Human Services,’ and ‘Arts, Culture, and Historic Preservation’ categories for recent initiatives to better serve seniors, celebrate farmers, coordinate efficient communication among county workers, and delivering services uninterrupted during the COVID pandemic.
The NACo Achievement Awards are issued nationally to recognize county programs that enhance services, improve county management or promote intergovernmental coordination. The National Association of Counties (NACo) is the national organization that represents county governments in the United States. Founded in 1935, NACo provides services and guidance to the nation’s 3,069 counties.
Twelve 2020 NACo Achievement Awards were secured in the State of Michigan by departments in just the three counties of Macomb, Oakland and Midland. The four awards won by the Macomb County Clerk’s Office represent a third of the statewide award total. No other county department in the state was awarded more than three and no other Clerk or Register of Deeds Office in the state was recognized in 2020.
With the addition of the four awards, the Macomb County Clerk & Register of Deeds Office has racked up 69 National Association of Counties Achievement Awards since 1993, 65 under the tenure of longtime County Clerk Carmella Sabaugh. The 2020 awards are the first for the Macomb County Clerk & Register of Deeds Office since 2016.
Started in 1970, NACo’s annual Achievement Award Program is designed to recognize innovative county government programs. Each nominee is judged on its own merits and not against other applications received. Awards are given in 18 categories that reflect the vast array of services that counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice, county administration, environmental protection, information technology, health, civic engagement and many more. NACo recognized 522 entries from counties and state associations in 30 states.
Macomb County was also recognized with one additional award for “Cyber Security Program Implementation.”
