2022-2023 SRPEDD Commission Member Appointment Form
The Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District (SRPEDD) was
created by the Massachusetts Legislature, along with 12 other regional planning agencies across
the state to undertake regional planning and deliver cost-effective planning -related technical
assistance to the municipalities that that they serve (in SRPEDD's case: fourcitiesand23towns).
The key to all such agencies' success and effectiveness in achieving those missions, is the
Regional Commission, or body of appointed representatives from each member municipality.
As one would expect, there is call and opportunity for such Commissioners to exercise
leadership, share of their expertise, and help to advance their respective regions— be it through
land use, transportation, economic development, environmental, or multiple other types of
planning. Indeed, it is the Commissioners that define the agency, who through their
commitment, dedication and engagement in the following, help to ensure that the region is
most effectively served:
1. PolicySetting-Through your participation in Committee and at Commission
meetings, you will be asked to vote on important policy matters affecting the region:
➢ Regional development policies — adoption of plans and goals.
➢ Regional priorities —assessment and establishment of priorities that help to
determine and apportion federal and state funding for transportation and
economic development projects.
➢ Work program direction — deliberation on whether to apply for particular funding,
and/or pursue identified projects in conjunction with the annual work program.
2. Partnering with Member Municipalities - As a liaison and key point of contact
between your municipality and SRPEDD:
➢ Provide timely information and updates to your municipality in regards to
ongoing planning initiatives, upcoming funding and other opportunities;
also, to fellow Commissioners about key planning issues in your community.
➢ Help to represent your city/town's perspective in discussion of regional issues.
➢ Help to educate and promote awareness of regional planning in your community.
3. Agenda Setting— Based on your understanding and familiarity with local and
regional needs, help to set the organization's agenda by encouraging focus on
prioritized planning issues important and beneficial to the region.
