Six Montgomery County Recreation programs were recognized with National Association of Counties (NaCo) Achievement Awards commemorating the positive impacts they’ve had on the community, according to a press release.
NaCo is a nonprofit organization that represents all of the counties in the U.S. and is dedicated to strengthening them by providing resources to better the services they offer to their communities. The Achievement Awards recognize innovative government programs in a variety of different categories including arts, health, education and many more.
