DuPage County Wins Three National Awards Wheaton – DuPage County received three Achievement Awards from the National Association of Counties (NACo). The awards honor innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents. “DuPage County strives for excellence and seeks to be a leader at the state and national levels. We are grateful to receive this recognition from NACo and thrilled to share these programs with counties across the nation,” said County Board Chair Deborah Conroy. Each year, NACo’s Achievement Awards recognize outstanding programming in 18 categories aligned with the vast, comprehensive services counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice and
public safety, libraries, management, information technology, health, civic engagement and more. Launched in 1970, the program is designed to celebrate innovation in county government. Each nominated program is judged on its own merits and not against other applications. “The Achievement Awards shine a spotlight on the hard work and innovation happening in county governments across the nation,” said NACo President James Gore. “This year’s winners highlight the dedication and creativity of county leaders and our teams to building thriving communities and providing the best possible services to our residents.” DuPage County won awards for the following programs: SEE DUPAGE COUNTY PAGE 2
