In the role, Harrell will help ACCG develop strategies to position Georgia counties as national resources on local government. She also will help the group examine federal-level issues.

“I am honored to be selected to serve in this role with ACCG,” Harrell said in a news release. “The Federal Policy Committee is one of the most important committees as a tool to advocated for Georgia on the national level.”

Harrell was appointed by new ACCG President Henry Craig, the District 4 Commissioner of Central Georgia’s Baldwin County.
