The Metropolitan Washington Council of Govern
ments was formed in 1957 as an independent, non
profit association of officials from eighteen local
governments surrounding Washington, DC, members
of the Maryland and Virginia legislatures, and mem
bers of Congress The Council functioned as a volun
tary instrument for inter-local cooperation until its
incorporation in 1965 as an intergovernmental agency
of its participating county and municipal governments
The Council develops regional responses to is
sues such as the environment, economic develop
ment, population growth, transportation, housing,
health, public safety, human relations, and family
concerns It also is designated by the federal gov-

eminent as the regional planning organization for
metropolitan Washington, DC To assist with plan
mng, the Council provides a regional geographic
information system and specialized computer and

Annually, participating local governments and
caucuses of state legislative delegations from the
region choose the Board of Directors The Board

from the District of Columbia, three each from
Fairfax County, Virginia, and Montgomery
County, Maryland, two from Prince George's
County, one from each remaining local junsdic
tion, and one member each from the Maryland and
