Confirmed Meetings, 2011
The Jordan Valley Advisory Committee (JVAC) operates under the auspices of the Springfield–Greene County Park Board to advise in developing Jordan Valley by reviewing plans, accepting public input, and making recommendations.
JVAC members are nominated by the JVAC membership committee, which sends its recommendations to the full JVAC. Upon consideration of the needs of the JVAC and the Park Board, JVAC will forward its nominations for appointment to the Park Board which, in turn, does the appointing.
