A powerful gathering of leadership.

During the NACo Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., the National Organization of Black County Officials (NOBCO) convened county leaders from across the country for our annual NOBCO Membership Meeting.

The response from attendees was incredible, with many members sharing that this was one of the strongest NOBCO membership meetings to date.

Key highlights included a timely State of Policy update from Anna Buhlinger of , as well as a compelling fireside chat on election integrity featuring Cook County Clerk and Fulton County Commissioner

The meeting also included a tribute honoring the legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, recognizing his lifelong impact on civic leadership and the continued importance of engaged, principled leadership in our communities.

As we continue building momentum, members were also reminded of the importance of active membership participation and the exciting opportunity ahead at the upcoming 40th Annual NOBCO Economic Development Conference in Maui.

Thank you to all of the county officials, partners, and members who joined us as we continue advancing Black county leadership nationwide.

✨ In Memoriam: Julian Taylor Bolton ✨

With heavy hearts, we honor the life and legacy of Julian Taylor Bolton, a beloved member of our NOBCO family. Julian’s dedication to service, leadership, and his community has left an enduring mark on Memphis and beyond. From his work as an educator, to his time on the Shelby County Commission, to his contributions to NOBCO, Julian’s impact is immeasurable.

He was not only a leader in law and politics but a mentor and friend to many, including our Chairman Derek Albert, who received his first scholarship from NOBCO thanks to Julian’s generosity. His unwavering commitment to uplifting others will forever be at the heart of our mission.

We invite you to read more about Julian’s remarkable life and the legacy he leaves behind. [Link in bio]

Rest in power, Julian. Your legacy lives on in all of us. 🙏

Today we honor Juneteenth — a powerful reminder of resilience, resistance, and the long road to freedom we still endure.

On this day in 1865, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas finally learned they were free.

At NOBCO, we carry this legacy forward by advancing policy rooted in equity, justice, and opportunity for Black communities across the nation.

We celebrate freedom — and continue to do the work required to overcome injustice across this nation!
