Additionally, ClearGov has an exclusive partnership with NACo (National Association of Counties) and several other state associations as the organizations’ preferred budgeting solution.

KAC is also partnered with other NACo EDGE programs, including Nationwide, the NACo High-Performance Leadership Academy, and three+one, which further highlights the value of such partnerships in providing solutions to county governments.
