	The Task Force will give you the chance to: inform DVRPC's Board and staff of local issues and challenges; participate in public service in a meaningful way; address specific policy issues of concern to DVRPC; recommend potential projects to the Commission; offer recommendations regarding public engagement; share DVRPC information with your community and county; and network with a dynamic group of regional leaders and citizens. The Task Force is a group comprised of representatives selected from the general public, community and civic organizations, advocacy groups, professional associations, and the private sector. We are opening a new selection round in order to add new members of the Task Force. Members will be chosen through an application process. Applicants must reside within DVRPC's nine-county planning area. An interest in planning, as well as knowledge of regional issues, civic engagement, diversity of experience, and effective communication skills are also beneficial for membership.

Meconi, AICP, Public Involvement Manager, at 215-592-1800 or public_affairs@dvrpc.org. Applications are due by 5:00 P.M. on October 31, 2014.
