Regional Advisory Council

RAC Regions

Wayne Metro’s Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) are comprised of Residential, Organizational, and Consumer community representatives who serve as consumer advisory board members to the Agency.

Regional Advisory Councils are instrumental in vetting and scoring Seeding Wayne County Grant Proposals submitting in their region. RAC Members also make up one-third of the Wayne Metro Board of Directors.
