Executive Board
The ABAG Executive Board is led by the ABAG President and Vice President. Member representatives are elected officials and make operating decisions, authorize expenditures and recommend policy.
County representatives are selected by city mayors or the county board of supervisors’ president. Most city member representatives are selected by the mayors and council members conferences for each county.
Members who sit on the board give a voice — and a vote — to new policies or recommendations that affect their communities and the region as a whole. Our Executive Board meets bimonthly to conduct ABAG’s ongoing business. Find out when the next meeting occurs and get access to past meetings and agendas below.
