Understanding the Role of County Boards

A County Board represents an essential component of county-level governance, entrusted with the management and supervision of specific segments of public administration, ranging from health services, education, and land use, to public safety and more. Comprising elected or appointed officials, these boards convene to formulate policies, implement strategic decisions, and oversee programs that have a direct bearing on community welfare.

In Russell County, our array of distinct County Boards each operate within their specialized sphere, diligently working towards optimizing service delivery and bolstering the quality of life for our residents. We invite you to peruse our individual board pages to gain a deeper understanding of their pivotal roles in shaping the trajectory of our county’s growth and development.
