Loudoun County’s leadership is like many other counties, with a governing nine-member board of supervisors. The chairman is elected at large, while the other supervisors are elected from each of the eight districts in the county. The board also appoints a county administrator, who manages county operations.
In June 2005, their work was realized when county's financial management received the best possible assessment: AAA bond ratings from all three of the major rating agencies; Moody’s, Fitch and Standard and Poors. These ratings have since been reaffirmed every year. In the world of finances, this puts Loudoun in a very elite crowd; in the top one percent of all counties nationwide for its financial administration.
We're also fortunate to live within the Commonwealth of Virginia, which also maintains a nationally-recognized reputation for excellence, including being named the Best Managed State in the Nation by Governing Magazine. Virginia has also received a AAA bond rating status for more than 70 years, longer than any other state.
