The success of SANDAG as a regional agency is firmly grounded in our ability to establish and nurture relationships with our member agencies as well as with federal, state, and regional policymakers, and other key stakeholders in our programs and projects. The Executive Office serves as a critical link between the Board of Directors, who establish the overall direction and priorities for the agency, and employees, who are responsible for achieving the program and project goals of the Board. The Executive Office includes key leadership positions such as the Executive Director and Chief Deputy Executive Director as well as specialized departments and positions whose purview is to provide technical expertise and guidance throughout the agency as well as to the Board and Policy Advisory Committees.
