GNRC Member Resource Guide

Executive Board Makeup

The 20 plus member Executive Board, formerly called the Executive Committee, meets monthly to conduct business on behalf of the full 93-member Regional Council. The Board’s current membership is defined by state law and includes the Council officers, a small city representative, a large city representative, two state legislators, and the minority representatives from the four counties within GNRC with the highest minority populations. In addition, each county and the municipalities within, are required to caucus each year to select a single representative of the group. Legislation passed in 2018 by the Tennessee General Assembly has provided additional authority to the Regional Council to define the future makeup of its Executive Board through its organizational bylaws.

What do you need to know? The Executive Board generally meets the third Wednesday of the month to conduct business on behalf of GNRC. All Council members are encouraged to attend and participate in discussions. Meeting dates and agenda are posted online at GNRC.org. The website allows interested members and stakeholders to register for email and text alerts related to meetings .

How are minority and business representatives selected? GNRC’s enabling legislation empowers each County Mayor or Executive to appoint two members to the full Council. One appointment is to be a representative of an agency or organization with business related to economic development. The other appointment is to be a minority representative with knowledge of issues related to social equity and inclusion. Representatives serve a one-year term with no limit to the number of terms served.
