Welcome to the NCVOA
Welcome to the home page of the Nassau County Village Officials Association (NCVOA), an organization representing Nassau County’s 64 incorporated villages and their 435,000 residents.
Most of Nassau County’s villages enjoy a long history, having been created more than one hundred years ago to provide efficient services under local control and the watchful eye of residents. The longevity of our villages formed during the more rural days of Nassau County is not surprising because people want to live an incorporated village for one simple reason: they desire a special quality of life and level of services. They do not want a government that is distant, unresponsive, and costly.
The Hon. Nancy Zolezzi, mayor of East
Williston, NY and president of the NCVOA.
Dollar for dollar, village government is the most efficient and cost effective vehicle for providing basic services that residents need and want. Unlike towns or cities, villages do not have high salaried senior officials or multi layers of bureaucracies and duplication. Nearly all mayors and trustees serve part-time and receive little, if any, compensation
As mayors and trustees we serve the residents of the communities in which we live, and many of our constituents are our friends and neighbors.
In addition to being organized with economically efficient staffs, villages have taken the lead in controlling rising costs by sharing services and equipment.
I invite you to discover the many diverse benefits of living in an incorporated village by clicking on any of the links to our individual villages. I am sure you will quickly learn why village government is known as “the government closest to the people.”
Sincerely,
Nancy Zolezzi
Mayor, Village of East Williston and
NCVOA President
