The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission

Regional Vision - Collaborative Leadership - Professional Service

The mission of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission is to serve our local governments by providing regional vision, collaborative leadership and professional service to develop effective solutions.

• Regional Vision: TJPDC will facilitate the creation of a shared vision by bringing the six governments together to understand the contribution of each to the region and the role each will play in serving the region’s needs.
• Collaborative Leadership: TJPDC will lead the development of solutions for the region’s issues by helping member governments identify the critical issues facing the region and find collaborative approaches to address those issues.
• Professional Service: TJPDC will serve our members by providing cost effective, high quality technical assistance that focuses on their most important issues.

Structure

The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission is directed by a twelve-member board, consisting of two representatives appointed by each local governing board, more than half of whom are local elected officials. The Commissioners have varied backgrounds and currently serve on various boards and committees in the region. Meeting monthly, they provide direction and oversight for TJPDC activities.
