When and where are meetings held?
The Commissioners regularly meet on the first Monday mornings at 9:30 a.m. and the third Monday nights of each month at 6:30 p.m. The schedule is subject to change due to holidays. The meetings are held in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room located on the 2nd floor of the Alamance County Office Building, 124 West Elm Street, Graham, NC 27253. The meetings are open to the public and everyone is encouraged to attend. Please check the Commissioner’s Meeting Portal for any changes to dates, times, or locations of meetings.
How do I sign up to speak in-person during the public comments portion of a meeting?
You may either sign up in-person using the sign-up sheet on the podium outside of the meeting room before each meeting or ahead of time online. The online sign up is found in our Meeting Portal.

How can I watch a meeting if I am unable to attend in person?
We stream our meetings on our YouTube channel. This includes both a live stream as the meeting is occurring as well as an edited version generally available the next day. The edited version enhances the sound quality and cuts out any recesses the Commissioners may take. This channel includes videos of meetings dating back to 2008.
