Crowning achievement: The ability to create a unified county team that has enabled us to build a $1.8 million aquatic center and an $8.6 million annex in the same year.
Biggest debacle or most embarrassing moment: Finding out a home that no one thought
had any historical value was on the National Registry after you had demolished it.
Best advice for other County Commissions: Agree to Disagree.
Funniest thing to ever happen at a commission meeting: When the custodian changed
cleaning products used on the Commissioners’ chairs and all three kept sliding off their chairs during the commission meeting.
Commission Staff: Cindy Whetsell, Administrator and Phyllis Corathers, Administrative Assistant.

We are preparing for the 2012 Annual Conference to be held August 5-8, at the Mountaineer Resort, in Hancock County. If you haven't already made plans to attend, please reconsider! We have lots of good information to share with you so it will be a very packed agenda.
I am just returning from our National Association of Counties Conference held in Pittsburgh, PA. We had over twenty WV delegates participating. I attended several good workshops and plan to "borrow" a couple for our future meetings! NACo 1st Vice President Linda Langston will join us as a guest speaker for the CCAWV August Annual Meeting. Also on the NACo front, the CCAWV Board has been working diligently with NACo on the Association endorsement of the County Prescription Drug Card Program. I am very excited to report that the endorsement process has moved forward and promises to provide a new CCAWV membership benefit for 2013, called "Two for the Price of One!". You'll hear more about this at the upcoming CCAWV Conference, stay tuned!

Well here goes nothing or should I say everything, as we are in one of the most challenging times in our history. The economy has been in a downward spiral, unemployment rates are up and our citizens are looking to county commissioners for answers.
West Virginia is one state that is not suffering financially as are many of the other states. Our financial house is in order and the eyes of the world are focused on our state, counties and cities.
