Fremont County Association of Governments

The Fremont County Association of Governments is grounded in the belief that strong communities are built through cooperation, integrity, and shared responsibility. As a State of Wyoming Joint Powers Board, FCAG brings local governments together to address regional needs, strengthen public services, and pursue solutions that benefit Fremont County as a whole.

Our work is guided by Wyoming’s Code of the West, which reflects the enduring values of courage, accountability, fairness, loyalty, and service. These principles help define not only what we do, but how we do it.

Code of the West

Live each day with courage.
We approach challenges with honesty and resolve. Public service requires the courage to face difficult issues, ask hard questions, and pursue responsible solutions even when the path forward is complex.

Take pride in your work.
We believe the quality of our work reflects the respect we hold for the communities we serve. FCAG is committed to thoughtful planning, accurate information, careful stewardship, and professional service.

Always finish what you start.
We value follow-through. Regional progress takes time, coordination, and persistence. FCAG works to move important efforts from conversation to action, and from action to lasting results.

Do what has to be done.
We are practical problem-solvers. FCAG exists to help local governments work together on needs that are larger than any one community, including transportation, public services, planning, and regional coordination.

Be tough, but fair.
We hold ourselves to high standards while treating others with respect. FCAG is committed to responsible decision-making, balanced judgment, and fairness in how we serve our members, partners, employees, and the public.

When you make a promise, keep it.
We understand that trust is earned through reliability. FCAG takes its commitments seriously and works to honor the responsibilities placed upon us by our member governments, funding partners, and communities.

Ride for the brand.
We serve a shared purpose. For FCAG, “the brand” is the collective good of Fremont County and the cooperative strength of its local governments. We work to represent that purpose with loyalty, professionalism, and care.

Talk less, say more.
We value clear and meaningful communication. FCAG strives to provide information that is understandable, useful, and direct so that the public can clearly see the purpose behind our work.

Remember that some things are not for sale.
We believe integrity, accountability, and public trust must never be compromised. FCAG’s decisions and actions must remain grounded in ethical service, transparency, and the public good.

Know where to draw the line.
We respect the boundaries of public authority and responsibility. FCAG operates through state law, board direction, public process, and grant requirements, with a commitment to acting within its role and preserving institutional trust.


Our Commitment

These values form the foundation of FCAG’s service to Fremont County. They remind us that good government is not only measured by programs, funding, or policy decisions, but also by the character, care, and accountability with which public work is carried out.

Through cooperation and steady commitment, FCAG seeks to strengthen local government, support essential services, and help build a more connected and resilient Fremont County.
