Lehigh County Executive Phillips Armstrong elected to leadership role in national organization advocating for regional cooperation.

The National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) elected Armstrong as senior vice president in its annual meeting yesterday.

The National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) serves as the national voice for regions by advocating for regional cooperation as the most effective way to address a variety of community planning and development opportunities and issues.

NARC members include regional councils, Councils of Governments (COGs), regional planning and development agencies, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and other regional organizations. Members work collaboratively with their communities – large and small, urban and rural – to address their citizens’ needs and promote a regional approach to planning for the future.

“I think it’s vital for Lehigh County to have a seat at the table nationally as communities come together to share ideas and cooperate regionally,” said Armstrong. “I am proud that Lehigh County is being recognized as the national leader that we are.”
