Volunteer Advisory Boards and Commissions —Annual Work Plan Summaries <br /> The Board provided feedback and/or direction on the second group of boards and <br /> commissions' annual work plan summaries with their Chairs (or representatives) in attendance. <br /> (The first group of boards and commissions' annual work plan summaries were presented at <br /> the Board's March 9, 2021 work session.) <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> In the past, as part of the Board of Commissioners' annual planning and goal setting retreats, <br /> the Board requested and reviewed/provided feedback on annual plan summaries from the <br /> County's internal advisory boards and commissions. This information provided the Board with a <br /> yearly overview of the boards and commissions and their projected goals for the upcoming <br /> year. This particular process ended in 2007. The Board decided at its April 13, 2010 meeting <br /> to reinstate this process independent of the Board's annual retreats. <br />
