Arlington County Advisory Group Handbook
The Advisory-Group-Handbook-2014 provides information for current and prospective Advisory Group (Commissions/Committees) members. It was released during the Summer of 2014.
The chief role of the advisory groups (advisory groups, committees, task forces, boards and ad hoc groups) is to provide the County Board with policy advice. Because group members typically come from every corner of the County and are selected and appointed by the Board to provide a broad range of skills, talents, knowledge and perspectives, their comments and recommendations regularly represent the diverse needs and interests of people living and working in Arlington.
Statement by ITAC Board Liaison, Jay Fisette
“As County Board members, we count on our Advisory Groups, assisted by County staff, to frame challenges, identify potential conflicts, discuss relevant issues, and conduct analysis and evaluation. Where advisory groups are able to find consensus is very important to us. Where consensus cannot be reached, we still benefit from the discussion as it guides our questions, requests for more information or our need to defer to a later date in order to ensure the best decision to achieve overall community good.”
