The ACC I designation is the first level of leadership achievement in the Advanced County Commissioner Program offered by ICG and signifies the completion of 27 hours of coursework.
Commissioner Kohler was presented with the designation at an awards ceremony held at the Florida Association of Counties Annual Conference and Educational Exhibition in Orange County, Fla.
"As a new Commissioner serving in my second year, I can’t express how impressed I am with the Institute for County Government in assisting and developing commissioners," Commissioner Kohler said. "The resources and expertise are comparable to Command Leadership training I was exposed to in the United States Navy."
ACC I is a voluntary program designed to provide county commissioners with resources to enhance their ability to serve their local communities. The program consists of core education courses, such as growth management, financial management, and ethics, as well as elective courses such as affordable housing, emergency management, and resiliency.
“The ACC courses help prepare a commissioner for the complex challenges they will face during their time in office,” Executive Director of the Institute for County Government Eric Poole said. “By striving to earn this designation and completing the coursework involved, they exemplify great leadership and a commitment to bettering their community.”
The ACC I education program was launched in 2006 and commissioners must fully commit to the coursework to graduate from the program. Participants are challenged to act, think and lead during times of uncertainty and adversity. Alongside Commissioner Kohler, 12 commissioners earned the ACC I designation at the award ceremony.
ACC I is made possible through a continuing partnership with the University of Florida/IFAS Extension.
