What we’re looking for in regard to the design:

The Maine County Commissioners Association seeks to embrace a design that embodies the spirit of its mission as well as our great State of Maine. We intend to use our new logo on letterhead, publications, banners, etc.

To understand MCCA, one would need to know a little bit about County Commissioners and County Government. The voters in each of Maine’s 16 counties elect commissioners to oversee the operation of county government. Commissioners are ultimately responsible for the fiscal operations and policy decisions affecting county government. Maine County Government includes county sheriff’s offices, county jails, registry of deeds, registry of probate, county courts, emergency management agencies, public health services, airports, emergency communications and services for unorganized Maine territories.

VISION Statement for the Maine County Commissioners Association
The Maine County Commissioners Association is a well-respected network of county governments in the State of Maine that provides public services and relevant programs to its members in a responsive, efficient, credible manner.

MISSION Statement for the Maine County Commissioners Association
It is the mission of the Maine County Commissioners Association to make this vision a reality through communication, service, education and cooperation by and among all departments of all counties.
