Nassau County Village Officials Association Installs New Officials

The Nassau County Village Officials Association (NCVOA) held its Annual Meeting and Installation of Officers to elect and install a new slate of officers to lead the association for the 2026–2027 term. The NCVOA represents 64 incorporated villages across Nassau County and serves as a forum for municipal leaders to collaborate on issues affecting their communities and residents.

“As president, my priority is to ensure that the NCVOA provides village officials with the communication, resources, and educational programs they need to better serve their residents while protecting taxpayer dollars,” Hon. Steven Weinberg, NCVOA President, said. “At the same time, we will continue to be a strong voice for our villages by advocating for home rule, defending local decision-making, and addressing the legislative and policy issues that impact our communities every day.”
