Who serves on the directing boards of Regional Development Centers?
By Georgia law, board membership for an RDC is comprised of not less than two nor more than five representatives from each member county served by the RDC, including at least one elected or appointed municipal government official from each member county and at least one elected or appointed county government official from each member county. An RDC’s bylaws may also authorize the RDC to include nonpublic board members. In addition, the Georgia Department of Community Affairs appoints one non-voting member from within the region to membership on the board. The Atlanta Regional Commission, as a Metropolitan Area Planning and Development Commission, has a different board make-up that is spelled out in more detail in state law.
