About GVCCC
G.V.C.C.C., or “the Council,” as many refer to it, is the catalyst
bringing together issues pertaining to community growth
and development for community discussion and action. Since 1973, the Council
has served as local volunteer government in place of local legal jurisdiction.
By its corporate Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Council is a 501
(c) (4) Arizona corporation; it has no legal authority, yet it serves as an
effective conduit to county and state governmental service. Its influence comes
from its membership of
66 separate Homeowner Associations (HOA) representing more than 90 percent
of all residents, together with 21
local organizations and businesses as Institutional members.
The Council is the focused advocate for the community’s overwhelming majority of retiree residents from all 50 states and 19 foreign nations. Each Homeowner Association selects one of its members to sit on the Council’s Board of Representatives. Every two years, its membership elects a president, a first and second vice president, a treasurer, a corporate secretary and four members at-large who function as an Executive Board providing administrative leadership. Except for its small paid staff, the Council is made up of volunteers. Two of its three staff members devote 75 percent of their time to the annual Green Valley Area Community Directory.
The Council serves the community in multiple ways; (1) Administering standing committees for Architectural Review, By-Laws, Communications & Town Hall, Deed Restrictions, Environmental, Government Liaison, Health & Human Services, Planning & Zoning, Public Utilities and Traffic & Arroyos, (2) Conducting regular open meetings of its membership with media present and time reserved for any citizen to comment, (3) Compiling and distributing the annual Green Valley Area Community Directory, and (4) Maintaining an office in the Green Valley Mall, year-round, Monday through Friday, except holidays, to provide assistance to its membership and the public at large.
