Barry, May Awarded Certified County Commissioner Status
July 19, 2015
The Florida Association of Counties (FAC) presented Escambia County commissioners Steven Barry and Lumon May with the Certified County Commissioner (CCC) designation, following their completion of a comprehensive study program developed by the association. Barry and May received the designation with 11 other county commissioners during an awards ceremony held at the FAC Annual Conference in St. Johns County..
CCC certification is not a requirement to serve as a county commissioner in Florida. However, county commissioners may voluntarily enroll in the program and complete a series of courses totaling 45 hours. The coursework is designed to provide information and enhance skills relevant to a commissioner’s duties and responsibilities as an elected official.
“This certification allows our citizen electorate to become experts in county government improving their communities,” said FAC executive director Chris Holley. “The 392 graduates of this program are a testament to the importance of this curriculum to Florida’s public servants and our counties.”
The CCC program coursework covers a variety of topics, such as county government roles and responsibilities, county government structure and authority, financial management, ethics and sunshine law, negotiation skills, economic development and effective communication. Completion of all coursework averages 12 to 18 months.
