Committees & Commissions

The Board of Managers is committed to the philosophy of full participation by Village residents in the government's decision-making process. The Chairman of the Board appoints residents to advisory committees for the purpose of assisting the Board on issues and problems facing the Village. The Board of Managers has adopted legislation to create independent, quasi-judicial administrative codes to ensure that the highest standards of governmental operations are maintained. To this end, the Chevy Chase Village Ethics Commission was created to oversee the conduct of both the elected and appointed officials. Additionally, a permanent Personnel Commission was created to formulate recommendations on all matters relating to the Village staff such as appointments, dismissals, appeals, revision of job description(s) and establishment and review of the Village's compensation and benefits programs.
