The Administrative Office of the Courts was pleased to welcome county officials from across the state on January 26, 2010 for a day of meetings in Atlanta. Tight budgets, affecting all levels of government, led the County Officers Association of Georgia to greatly reduce the schedule for their annual winter meeting as the 2010 Session of the General Assembly got underway.

The AOC opened its doors to provide separate meetings rooms to the probate judges, county tax officials, superior court clerks and COAG Executive Board. Marla S. Moore, AOC Director, stated that "we work closely throughout the year with county officials and are always ready to offer our hospitality to COAG and other groups affiliated with the courts of Georgia. Meeting at our offices, only steps away from the Coverdell Legislative Office Building and the State Capitol, enabled the judges, clerks of court and other officials to make efficient use of their brief time in Atlanta. It was a pleasure to greet old and new friends as COAG meetings continued throughout the day."
