The Task Force will give you the chance to:
- inform DVRPC’s Board and staff of local issues and challenges;
- participate in public service in a meaningful way;
- address specific policy issues of concern to DVRPC;
- recommend potential projects to the Commission;
- offer recommendations regarding public engagement;
- share DVRPC information with your community and county; and
- network with a dynamic group of regional leaders and citizens.
The Task Force is a group comprised of representatives selected from the general public, community and civic organizations, advocacy groups, professional associations, and the private sector. We are opening a new selection round in order to add up to eight new members to the Task Force. Members will be chosen through an application process. Applicants must reside within DVRPC’s nine-county planning area. An interest in planning, as well as knowledge of regional issues, civic engagement, diversity of experience, and effective communication skills are also beneficial for membership.
