NACOLG is not a government, but is an extension of city and county government through which officials get together to decide issues of region-wide importance and work together to solve problems that stretch beyond local government boundaries. All NACOLG policy decisions are made by local elected officials. This ensures all NACOLG programs and policies reflect the interest of the member governments.
