The MetroGIS Policy Board, since it was
created in January 1997, has provided policy direction for the MetroGIS
organization. The Board is comprised of twelve elected/executive officials
representing eleven key MetroGIS stakeholder organizations: each of the seven
metropolitan counties, Association of Metropolitan Municipalities (AMM),
Metropolitan Chapter of the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts
(MAWD), Technology Information Educational Services (TIES - school districts),
and the Metropolitan Council. The governing body for each organization
represented on the MetroGIS Policy Board formally endorsed the MetroGIS mission
statement and appointed one of its members to serve on the Board.
A Coordinating Committee, comprised of
approximately 25 managers and administrators from a cross section of interests
and organizations, recommends courses of action to the Policy Board concerning
design, implementation, and operation of MetroGIS. The Coordinating Committee
is supported by the Technical Advisory Team. The
Coordinating Committee and the Technical Advisory Team members are persons with
broad expertise and perspective, including GIS and other relevant
organizational policy, data access, data content, and data standards
backgrounds. MetroGIS Operating
Guidelines govern the responsibilities and composition of the Board and its
supporting structure. (Additional advisory teams have been operative at various
times during MetroGIS's evolution. Please see the
Dissolved Teams page for more
information about them.)
