MOULTRIE, Ga. — Colquitt County Commissioner Marc DeMott was among those installed recently to serve on the management board of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia.

Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black joined ACCG, Georgia’s county association, at the 2017 Annual Conference that was held from April 28 to May 1 in Savannah, Georgia. He offered the installation address and welcomed appointed members to serve on the 2017-2018.

“The Board of Managers serves as the foundation of the association, working effortlessly to ensure we adhere to the four pillars ACCG was built upon while guiding us through our next century of service,” said Executive Director Ross King. “The role the board plays is invaluable. Each leader represents the solidarity that is ACCG and, ultimately, the solidarity that is county government.”

He became a certified county commissioner in his first year and also serves on the Economic Development and Transportation committee of ACCG.
