HEADLINE STORIES |
County Nabs 56 NACo's
2020 may have been the year of the pandemic, but it didn't slow down our productivity, or reduce services to our residents. In fact, COVID-19 provided programming challenges that we worked through, or around, by finding unique and innovative ways to provide services. And we were just awarded 56 NACo Achievement Awards for our efforts.
More than ten of our awards were COVID-related. Two were a result of the 2020 election: The Elections Department was recognized for its online “one-stop-shop." And OET was recognized for its Cybersecurity War Room.
For a complete list of NACo awards, visit the NACo website and search the database for Arizona. Congratulations to all our NACo winners!

COVID-19 Community Impact Survey
Have you taken Public Health's COVID-19 Community Impact Survey to share how COVID-19 has impacted you? This is more than a survey; it could potentially be a road map for how the Public Health directs resources in the coming years. The more people who respond, the better we will understand how to emerge from the pandemic stronger and more resilient. The survey closes on June 30, 2021.
