From the NCACC Constitution: Counties, like individuals, cannot profitably and happily exist in isolation. Their destinies are intertwined. They must progress or fail together. Their problems are largely the same; if they are to be solved speedily and effectively, all counties must band themselves together and work for the common good. Many common problems exist among the counties of North Carolina and, where common problems exist, cooperation is necessary. The objectives of the organization shall be: to perpetuate and develop the Association as an agency for cooperation among the counties of North Carolina; to investigate, study, discuss and recommend improvements and the application of more efficient methods in county government; to provide and/or administer joint programs for counties and related entities, such programs to include, but not be limited to insurance, risk management and capital finance programs; to provide means whereby county officials may interchange ideas and experiences and obtain expert advice; to collect, compile, and distribute to county officials information about county government and the administration of county affairs; to provide the legislature and the public with information necessary for the passage of sound legislation beneficial to the administration of county affairs, and to oppose legislation injurious thereto; and to do any and all things necessary and proper for the benefit of counties in the administration of their affairs.
