Accountability. Transparency. Leadership.
The Utah Association of Counties (UAC) is a member-driven, nonprofit organization guided by Utah’s 29 counties. Through a representative governance structure, UAC ensures that every county has a voice in shaping the policies, priorities, and services that strengthen local government across the state.
How We Govern
- Board of Directors — Provides overall leadership, direction, and oversight for the association.
- Executive Committee — Guides day-to-day priorities and ensures UAC remains responsive to member needs.
- Committees — Bring together county leaders to address issues ranging from property tax and public lands to behavioral health and public safety.
- Bylaws and Policies — Establish the framework for how UAC operates with integrity, transparency, and accountability.
