National Association of Counties (NACo): 2026 Fall Board of Directors Meeting and Building Better Futures: A County Leaders’ Symposium on Youth Outcomes
The National Association of Counties (NACo) is hosting the 2026 Fall Board of Directors Meeting and Building Better Futures: A County Leaders’ Symposium on Youth Outcomes starting Thursday, December 3rd through Saturday, December 5th, at the Omni Charlotte Hotel.
County leaders partner every day with families, community organizations and private businesses to improve outcomes for young people, especially our most vulnerable. Yet even as we make pockets of progress, an important question remains: How can we build better futures for our youth?
Hosted by NACo Incoming President George Dunlap as part of his presidential spotlight, in partnership with NACo’s Board of Directors and Large Urban County Caucus, “Building Better Futures: A County Leaders’ Symposium on Youth Outcomes” will focus on practical strategies and collaborative approaches that counties can advance at the local level—from proven prevention and early intervention models to cross-sector partnerships that align resources and expand opportunity. Participants will leave with actionable ideas, stronger partnerships and a shared commitment to measurable outcomes for vulnerable youth. Because lasting progress doesn’t happen by accident, it happens when counties lead.
