ACCG-Jerry Griffin Scholarship Program

The engagement that Georgia county officials have with both ACCG and our national partner, the National Association of Counties (NACo) is of vital importance. Through the ACCG-Jerry Griffin Scholarship Program, county commissioners and/or appointed officials will have the opportunity to further engage with both ACCG and NACo starting in 2026 and throughout 2027.

Beginning next year, the ACCG-Jerry Griffin Scholarship Program will offer counties the opportunity to apply for maximum reimbursements for any of the following eligible conferences:

2026 

• ACCG Annual Conference and/or Legislative Leadership Conference - $3,000/yr for either or both conferences 
• NACo Annual Conference and/or Legislative Conference - $3,000/yr for either or both conferences 

2027 

• ACCG Annual Conference and/or Legislative Conference - $3,000/yr for either or both conferences 
• NACo Annual Conference only - $5,000

For each conference, the following expenses are eligible for reimbursement: 

• Conference registration fees
