Participation, Accessibility, Collaboration, Excellence (P.A.C.E.): Preserving a Clean, Safe & Prosperous Community
STANDING & AD HOC COMMITTEES
The Pine Hills Community Council (PHCC) advances its mission through a combination of Standing Committees and Special Ad Hoc Committees.
Standing Committees support the ongoing work of the Council by monitoring progress, developing recommendations, and reporting to the Board and general membership within defined focus areas.
Special Ad Hoc Committees are time-bound and event- or project-specific. These committees are formed as needed to plan and execute initiatives such as major events, community programs, or annual activities.
Committee service is central to PHCC’s work under the PACE Administration
Participation. Accessibility. Collaboration. Excellence.
Together, we are committed to Preserving a Clean, Safe & Prosperous Community.
