Officials and staff of the Five County Association of Governments are committed to bringing services as close to the recipients
as possible. In order to make this model succeed, much of the programming financed through the AOG is sub-contracted to other
organizations. Many of the outcomes listed in this report would not occur without the support and success of these community
partners. Their efforts are sincerely appreciated. Many of our partners are listed below. Our apologies go out to any that may
have been missed.
