VACo Committee Interest Form
VACo seeks county supervisors and executive staff interested in serving on steering and operational committees. The steering committees consider proposals from member counties for inclusion in VACo’s legislative program.
They also provide direction to the VACo staff on policy issues arising from legislative and state agency actions. Committee members are selected from VACo’s 13 regions.
The operational and ad-hoc committees are responsible for helping direct the staff in the activities, programs and functions of VACo.
Committee members are expected to attend live and virtual committee meetings during the year and the VACo Annual Conference. VACo asks that committee members or the counties they represent assume responsibility for travel arrangements and costs associated with attending committee meetings.
Appointments are made each year by the president of VACo. If you are interested in being considered for an appointment, complete this form.
Please contact Valerie Russell at vrussell@vaco.org with any questions.
