The Advisory Committee plays a key role in shaping groundwater management in the Salinas Valley by providing input and consensus-based recommendations to the SVBGSA Board of Directors. The Advisory Committee reflects a broad range of perspectives, representing agencies and groundwater users across the region. Members collaborate to support the implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act through the integrated execution of six Groundwater Sustainability Plans. The Advisory Committee roster is made of up of six Subbasin Committee seats, the four Partner Agency seats, and up to three of the Board-Designated seats.
 
The Advisory Committee meets every other month (even-numbered months) on the third Thursday at 2 p.m. Upcoming meeting dates can also be found on the Calendar. Meeting agendas, which include meeting locations, are published under “Upcoming Events” and the agenda should be referenced for any changes in regular meeting dates, times, locations or meeting cancellations. View the hybrid meeting best practices here.
