Our History
The Court Officers Benevolent Association of Nassau County (COBANC) was formed in the late 1970s during the State take-over of all the courts (except local town and village courts) in New York. COBANC was officially recognized by PERB as the bargaining unit for most court system employees in Nassau County on February 2, 1979.
