The Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma

What The Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma does

The Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma (ACCO) is a private nonprofit professional association that represents the 231 elected County Commissioners across all 77 Oklahoma counties. ACCO's core function is to serve as a statewide clearinghouse for leadership training, educational programming, insurance programs, safety resources, grants and funding assistance, policy templates, and legislative advocacy on behalf of its county government members. The organization addresses the health, safety, and welfare needs of county citizens by centralizing access to training, peer networking, and procurement resources that individual counties would struggle to assemble independently. Headquartered in Oklahoma and operating under Executive Director Chris Schroder, ACCO is controlled by its member county commissioners rather than external shareholders.

ACCO generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring membership dues paid by county governments, registration fees from its Summer and Spring Conferences and other training events, and managed insurance program fees covering worker's compensation reporting, deductible fund accounts, and risk management services accessed through the eRiskHub platform. The association packages these services with an expanding vendor partner ecosystem that includes exclusive benefits such as free Amazon Business Prime membership, Oklahoma Class purchasing cooperative discounts, Nationwide Retirement Solutions, and the County Commissioner Handbook produced in partnership with the OSU Center for Local Government Technology. Strategic coordination with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), the Oklahoma Cooperative Circuit Engineering Districts Board (OCCEDB), and the National Association of Counties (NACo) extends ACCO's reach into transportation funding, revolving loan programs, and national advocacy.

ACCO's most consequential recent achievement is the passage of House Bill 2758, which delivered a historic $75 million investment in county roads and bridges, one of the largest single-year county transportation infrastructure investments in Oklahoma state history. The organization's distribution model is event-driven, anchored by annual conferences, a quarterly ACCO Crossroads newsletter, and an active social media presence, with services delivered directly to county government officials across Oklahoma's 77 counties. ACCO does not operate as a technology company; its value is institutional, regulatory, and relational rather than digital.
