The Delmarva Advisory Council, originally
called the Delmarva Steering Committee, was
recommended at the Delmarva Development
meeting held in Salisbury on December 3, 1963.
The meeting was attended by the Governors and
representatives of Maryland, Delaware, and Vir-
ginia. As a result of this meeting, the Council was
established in 1964 to advance the economic and
cultural welfare of the people of the Delmarva
Peninsula through advice, counsel, and assistance
to such government agencies and private organi-
zations as are concerned with programs and ac-
tivities to develop the resources and economic ac-
tivities of the area. At a second Governors'
Conference held on May 11, 1967, the Delmarva
Peninsula was designated by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Commerce and the Economic Develop-
ment Administration as the Delmarva Economic
Development District under the terms of the Pub-
lic Works and Economic Development Act of
1965. The Delmarva Advisory Council is the or-
ganization designated by the three governors to
advise and work with the local organizations in
carrying out projects of the overall economic de-
velopment program. The Council consists of for-
ty-seven members from the three States and sev-
eral advisory members. Council members serve
for varied terms.
