Floyd County Commission Chair Allison was elected to serve on the Board of Managers of the 2024-2025 as an at-large representa­tive covering the whole state.

“We are excited to welcome our newly installed Board of Managers, a group of dedicated leaders chosen by their peers to guide our organizati­on,” Executive Director Dave Wills said. “Their commitment and expertise will be invaluable as we work together to advance the interests of Georgia’s counties.”

Watters was first elected to the Floyd County Board of Commission­ers in 2017 and recently became the chair. She is also co-chair of Rome for the Rescues, channeling her passion into fundraisin­g efforts for animal welfare projects. In the past, she chaired the Heart of the Community Board of Directors, which earned her recognitio­n as one of the Heart of the Community Award recipients in 2016. Additional­ly, her dedication to public service is reflected in her involvemen­t on the ACCG Interlocal Risk Management Agency board.

Now as an ACCG at-large Representa­tive, she will work alongside other board members to lead the associatio­n and guide policies during the next year.

“I consider it an honor to be selected to serve on the ACCG Board of Managers,” Watters said. “ACCG has a long history of providing exceptiona­l training and legislativ­e leadership to Georgia county government­s.”

Watters said she looked forward to serving with county leaders across the state to continue supporting county government­s as they provide the necessary leadership, services, and programs to meet the needs of their citizens.
