Coordination Committee
17-9-2008

The Coordination Committee serves as an informal agreement platform within the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area for mayors, aldermen and provincial administrators from the participating local authorities and provinces on the region's current affairs.

Mayor Cohen of Amsterdam and the Queen's Commissioner Borghouts of the province of North Holland, both have a presidential role in this informal body.

Committee members are invited personally by the presidents. This was done based on geographical and political dispersion and an even distribution of elected and non-elected administrators. The committee meets three times a year. The committee is not a decision-making body and implementation is the responsibility of the parties involved. However, the composition of this body does enable plans to be put into action, where necessary.
