Washington County Commissioner Harlan Shober was elected second vice president of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania at the organization’s 128th annual conference, which concluded Wednesday at the Lancaster Convention Center.
Shober, former chairman of the Chartiers Township Board of Supervisors, was elected to the county commission in 2011.
The CCAP post carries a one-year term.
“I did not plan on running for this,” Shober said Thursday. “I accepted the nomination, and I’m honored. It’s just part of what we do to make sure Washington County is represented. You need to get your voice heard at the state level. Sometimes you affect Washington County at the state level by lobbying.”
Elected president of CCAP was Craig Lehman, a Lancaster County commissioner who plans to visit Washington County in September. Robert Thomas, a Franklin County commissioner, was chosen as first vice president. The terms of the newly elected officials begin Jan. 1.
“In the chain of command, the assumption is you move up in the chain,” said Shober, who is a member of the energy and land-use committee of CCAP.
The organization convenes three conferences each year.
