Borders Committee

Borders Committee

The Borders Committee advises the Board of Directors on major interregional planning activities that impact the borders of the San Diego region. This includes Orange, Riverside, and Imperial Counties; the Republic of Mexico; and neighboring tribal nations. The preparation and implementation of SANDAG Binational, Interregional, and Tribal Liaison Planning programs are included under this purview. Recommendations of the Borders Committee are forwarded to the Board of Directors for action.  

The Borders Committee meetings are generally at 12:30 p.m. on the fourth Friday of the month.
