The Boston Harbor Islands Advisory Council's purpose is to advise and make recommendations to the Partnership on the development and implementation of the general management plan for the islands, including ongoing park operations.
With membership representing several segments of the greater Boston Harbor community, the Council is the primary mechanism used by the Partnership to consult with the public on matters of park planning and management.
Governance of the Council provides for an open public process in its formulation of recommendations. The official work of the Advisory Council takes place at quarterly meetings; general discussion of issues occurs at sub-committee workshops and other public forums. In order to be most effective in advising the Partnership, Advisory Council members have committee assignments on the standing committees of the Partnership.
The Council, which currently has 28 members, is required to include representatives of municipalities; educational and cultural institutions; environmental organizations; business and commercial entities, including those related to transportation, tourism and the maritime industry; community groups; advocacy organizations; and Native American interests. Members are appointed by the Secretary of the Interior through the Director of the National Park Service. The Council has named several ex-officio members to increase active constituent participation and communication.
