The AIC was founded to represent the interests of county government. While there are a number of agencies and groups offering assistance to county government, AIC is the only entity that represents the legislative needs of Indiana counties. With an office in Indianapolis, AIC is a full service organization with an executive director and professional staff.
Membership consists of entire counties rather than individual office holders.
They can be urban, suburban, or rural counties. Their sizes range from Marion County, with a population of over 750,000 to Ohio County, with a population of slightly more than 5,000. They have the opportunity to serve as AIC officers, as members of the AIC Board of Directors and on various committees. The Board of Directors is made up of elected county officials and is responsible for overall Association policy and management. Five officers, a president, first, second, and third vice presidents, and a treasurer, comprise the AIC Executive Committee, which oversees administration of the Association.
