CANTON -- Legislators are proclaiming 2025 at the centennial of the New York State Association of Counties.

According to county officials, the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) was founded 100 years ago "to serve as a unified voice and advocate for the 57 counties of New York State, including the five boroughs of New York City."

Officials said NYSAC has consistently worked to enhance the effectiveness of county governments through advocacy, comprehensive education and meticulous research, all aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by county officials.

"Over the past century, NYSAC has played an instrumental role in promoting the interests of county governments at the state and federal levels, ensuring that the voices of local governments are heard, and their needs addressed," legislators said.

County officials say NYSAC has played a crucial role in ensuring invaluable resources and training have also been made available to counties over the years, including knowledge and tools necessary to deliver "efficient and effective services."

"Through its commitment to research, NYSAC has fostered innovative solutions and best practices that have strengthened county operations and improved the quality of life for millions of New Yorkers," they said.

With a legacy of collaboration and partnership among county governments, NYSAC and counties throughout the state continue to foster "a spirit of unity and mutual support," officials said.

"The centennial anniversary of NYSAC is a momentous occasion to celebrate the enduring dedication of the association to public service and its profound impact on the governance and well-being of New York State's counties," officials said.
