“ACCG’s service program board members are entrusted with the stewardship of the assets and management of the association’s various programs,” said Executive Director Dave Wills. “The success of those programs is attributed to the guidance provided by Board members, and we are thankful for their continued commitment to serve Georgia’s counties and ACCG.”

“It is a pleasure and honor to serve on the Board of Trustees for ACCG-GSIWCF,” said Demarcus Marshall, Lowndes County Board of Commissioner, District 4. “I am able to assist county governments and employees throughout Georgia in being compensated, remaining employable, policy-making, and adhering to the best workplace safety practices. We work and participate in studies with other organizations such as the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association in understanding PTSD among our deputies and public safety employees within our counties”.

Over the years, we have implemented membership rebates and safety grants for county governments worth thousands of dollars; to which, Lowndes County has directly benefited from as a participating county.”
