Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee (and there may be more than one) is appointed by the Executive Board. Originally it had responsibilities in drafting the District Plan, but now the primary responsibility is to review the District grant proposals and recommend levels of funding with the budget allocated. The Advisory Committee also periodically reviews the grant process.
