Governance

Our Mission

The Amador-Calaveras Consensus Group is a community-based organization that works to create fire-safe communities, healthy forests and watersheds, and sustainable local economies.

Our Vision

The economies, natural environments, and communities of Amador and Calaveras County are healthy and sustainable.

How We Reach Decisions

Decision-making process of the group is defined as consensus.  If consensus cannot be reached, the person or persons expressing concern are responsible for proposing an alternative which meets the same end goal.  If alternatives cannot be defined immediately, the person opposing a decision is responsible for convening a meeting with relevant persons to clearly define the alternative for consideration at a subsequent meeting.
