“I am very anxious to get to work,” White said. “This year offers many challenges for county government, and I am looking forward to working with our ACCA staff, new board of directors, our members and our affiliates to face them. Budget shortfalls, health care, road and bridge funding are but a few concerns our counties must address this year. We will work hard together to solve our problems. We are committed to continue to provide safe roads and bridges, promote economic development, support our law enforcement agencies, and to provide other vital services of county government.”

ACCA Executive Director Sonny Brasfield said he is confident in White’s capabilities to serve the association’s membership well.

“We have nothing to worry about in the next year. I know that Larry will lead this association with pride and a dedication to improving county government,” Brasfield said. “With his experience on the board of directors, our affiliate groups, our special projects, our insurance programs, and his knowledge of county issues, Larry will continue to be a valuable asset to the people of Alabama.”
