This NASCOE County Office Advocacy Committee (COAC) Committee update provides membership with brief, but important updates and reminders concerning COC elections, ballot counting and COC involvement with the National Association of Farmer Elected Committees (NAFEC). 

We understand this is a busy time and we are all preparing for COC elections and ballot counting during unprecedented times.  This is certainly no easy task.  Moving forward, county offices will bring new COC members on in January.  As always, informing and educating our new and old COC members about NAFEC is important.  NAFEC is the employee association for County Committee members.  NAFEC represents committee members just like NASCOE represents county office employees.  As a reminder, NAFEC handles numerous issues for not only County Committees, but also County Office Employees across the nation. 

Recently, NAFEC has stressed the importance of conducting ballot counting in a safe manner, while also following the processes outlined in statue, regulation, and handbook policy.  The attached letter from NAFEC, is a great example of what NAFEC is doing for COC members, while highlighting their concerns, as we prepare for COC elections and ballot counting in the coming days. Please continue to look for future bulletins concerning NAFEC and other information prior to January Organizational Meetings.  As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to the NASCOE County Office Advocacy Committee by emailing .
