Advisory Groups
Members of Advisory Groups ensure that the County Executive is well informed of and able to act effectively in responding to the needs and concerns of the county's diverse communities, and to work collaboratively with government, nonprofits, and community organizations in creating an inclusive, equitable and welcoming county. The groups meet regularly, and many meetings are open to the public. For more information, contact the appropriate individual listed below.
