Commissioner Cawley Named to State Commissioners Association Board of Directors

Bucks County Commissioner James F. Cawley, Esq. was elected to the County Commissioners Association of PA (CCAP) Board of Directors for 2006 as the Association wrapped up its 2005 annual conference in Hershey this week.

As a board member, Cawley will represent District V in southeastern Pennsylvania, which encompasses Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.

"The Association serves to strengthen the ability of Pennsylvania's counties to govern their own affairs and improve the well-being and quality of life for their constituents," Cawley said. "To this end, the Association affects the achievement of favorable state legislation, programs and policies, and provides appropriate programs and services to member counties.

"I know how these issues impact us locally," he said. "We share many of the same challenges as other counties statewide. As a leader of this Association, I can make a stronger voice for Bucks County in Harrisburg, Washington, D.C., all of Pennsylvania."

Bucks County Commissioner Chairman Charles H. Martin and Commissioner Sandra A. Miller and Chief Operating Officer David M. Sanko also attended the three-day conference.

Founded in 1886, CCAP promotes the common interests of counties and a better understanding of county government by federal, state and local elected officials as well as private citizens. It represents county government on issues before the state and federal governments and provides services and educational opportunities for its members.

CCAP is a statewide, nonprofit, bipartisan association representing commissioners, chief clerks, administrators and their equivalents in home rule counties, and solicitors of Pennsylvania's 67 counties.
