The CCI plays an important role in ensuring that the voices of the community are considered when decisions are being made.
Since 1973, the CCI has provided a direct line of communication between residents and county government and has been dedicated to the success of community participation in government decision-making processes. The CCI is a vital part of the Washington County CPO Program, which is made up of 17 Community Participation Organizations (CPOs) led by volunteers with a membership from the communities they serve.
CCI membership consists of two representatives from each recognized CPO. Per the CCI bylaws, additional members may participate based on these distinctions:
- Each CPO is allowed two CCI alternates.
- Inactive CPOs are allowed two CCI reps, as approved by the CCI.
- CCI reps are allowed from communities of interest.
- CCI subcommittee chairs may also participate as CCI reps.
