In 1990, FAC created the Florida Counties Foundation (FCF), a private, non-profit 501(c)(3), which provides training and technical assistance . The mission of FCF is to enhance the leadership skills of county officials, to facilitate innovative thinking and action by those leaders, and, ultimately to enable counties to prosper as communities in the 21st century.
The Foundation oversees the County Commissioners Voluntary Certification (CCC), Advanced County Commissioner Education (ACC) programs and the content for FAC’s Annual Conference. It is governed by a Board of Directors made up of elected and appointed county officials.
