CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (June 20, 2025) – Charlotte County has been recognized with 31 2025 Achievement Awards from the National Association of Counties. The awards honor innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents.
“These NACo Achievement Awards demonstrate the dedication and commitment of my colleagues to delivering exceptional service to our community,” said Charlotte County Administrator Hector Flores. “Even as we’re still recovering from the terrible storms we endured in 2024, county staff showed resiliency and innovation by creating new programs, leveraging technology to improve productivity and employing best practices to deliver programs and services.”
Each year, NACo’s Achievement Awards recognize outstanding programming in 18 categories aligned with the vast, comprehensive services counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice and public safety, libraries, management, information technology, health, civic engagement and more. Launched in 1970, the program is designed to celebrate innovation in county government. Each nominated program is judged on its own merits and not against other applications.
“The Achievement Awards shine a spotlight on the hard work and innovation happening in county governments across the nation,” said NACo President James Gore. “This year’s winners highlight the dedication and creativity of county leaders and our teams to building thriving communities and providing the best possible services to our residents.”
