Oswego County Administrator Philip Church was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) at the Association's Annual Meeting in Onondaga County last week.

“County Administrator Church is an experienced and thoughtful county leader, and we are fortunate to have his expertise on the NYSAC Board of Directors,” said NYSAC President MaryEllen Odell, the Putnam County Executive.

NYSAC represents New York's 57 counties and the City of New York in Albany and Washington on matters germane to county governments, and informs county officials and the public about issues that impact county governments across the state.

Mr. Church has served as the Oswego County Administrator since 2007, and has been with the county since 1993, as public information officer, purchasing director, and then as the county administrator. He earned his Masters' in Public Administration from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University and his Bachelors' Degree at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

“NYSAC has a strong tradition of advocating for and training county officials from across the state. I am pleased to be able to represent Oswego County on the board of directors, and look forward to sharing best practices with my colleagues from all over the state,” said Church.

"Oswego County has been an active member of NYSAC, and our county officials recognized this leadership when they elected County Administrator Church as a member of their board of directors. His experiences and input will help to shape our advocacy efforts for state mandate relief and local efficiencies going forward,” said NYSAC Executive Director Stephen Acquario.
