The Association of County Commissions of Alabama is pleased to announce that Mandi Willis, human resources director for Franklin County, has earned the Certificate in County Administration, a professional certification from the County Government Education Institute.

“We are especially proud of our county administrative staff members because participating in this continuing education program shows their intent to become better public servants,” said ACCA President Merceria Ludgood.

“This is a tested program, which means much more than just showing up for a class. It means a great amount of dedication to improving local government services for our citizens.”

To receive a Certificate in County Administration, any administrative personnel approved to participate must complete 72 hours of course work – six courses of 12 hours each. The program is administered by ACCA.
