Overview

Pursuant to Resolution 2001-70, the ECHO Advisory Committee was established for the purpose of reviewing and recommending to the County Council, applications from not-for-profit organizations, municipalities, and budgeted County departments for grants-in-aid. There are 9 members on the Board, each of which has been nominated by a member of the County Council (at-large Council member and the County Chair nominate 2 members each) and are approved by a majority vote of the entire Council. Committee members shall remain in office only so long as they are qualified registered electors and residents of the county council district. Members of the committee shall be appointed to serve at the pleasure of the county council for two (2) year terms expiring on March 31 of odd numbered years or until their successors are duly appointed and qualified if that be later. The County’s Connecting with County Government guide (pdf format) provides more information on the County’s requirements for those serving on any of the County’s advisory committees.
