Counties
CEA has a membership solely comprised of top-level elected local
government officials. This includes those leaders of city-county
jurisdictions, boroughs (New York City), parishes (Louisiana), and
judicial jurisdictions (Texas, Kentucky). All members must be duly
elected by and fully represent their entire constituency, responsible
for county budgets and services, and have authority for civil employees.
Non-elected local government officials such as county administrators
or managers are not eligible for membership.
CEA spans
the entire nation. There are about 700 out of just over
3000 U.S. counties that follow a "county executive" government
structure. CEA represents those counties that maintain a
county executive style of government, giving it a presence
in 45
U.S. states.
Businesses
CEA welcomes public-private partnerships. Through its Associate
Member Program, CEA works with members of the private sector to
build public-private partnerships that will improve communities
across the nation. CEA welcomes all civic-oriented businesses to
join or make contributions to the organization. Associate members
are fully-fledged members with the opportunity to learn about local
government and how it influences the lives of the American people.
