Founded in 1997, the CCS Partnership is a unique organization that provides an opportunity to create effective, responsive local government. It is the only known organization in the country that regularly convenes the leadership of local government. The Partnership is a vehicle for the three partnering associations to identify common issues, discuss mutual challenges and explore alternative strategies. It provides neutral ground and a space for open discussion. Acting together local elected officials can coordinate services, create policies and advocate for changes that enhance local power to create local solutions to local issues.
