ARC Board and Committees

Posted in: About ARC Events & Meetings

The Atlanta Regional Commission is governed by a 39-member board that consists of:

  • The county commission chair from each of the 10 member counties
  • The mayor and a council member from the region’s largest city (city of Atlanta)
  • One mayor from each of the 10 member counties, with the exception of Fulton, which has two mayoral representatives (one from north Fulton and one from south Fulton).
  • A representative from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs
  • 15 citizen members who are selected by the ARC board’s elected officials.
  • Every 2 years the Board elects from its members a Chairman for a 2 year term. The Chairman with the affirmation of the Board appoints the Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Parliamentarian and the chairs and members of the various committees.

ARC Board Committees

All members of the ARC Board serve on at least one committee and additional committee members can be appointed from outside ARC.

The committees meet monthly to consider specific subjects referred to them by staff, the Commission or initiated by the committee itself.

ARC may also, from time-to-time, appoint special purpose task forces or organize collaborative efforts to examine issues affecting the Atlanta region or to help implement projects or programs to effect positive community change.

Community Engagement

ARC welcomes input from interested citizens from the Atlanta regional community.  In order to properly hear from interested persons and respond to their comments, ARC requests that citizens follow the ARC Policy for Citizen Input.
