Executive Status is defined as representing the DNA Board of Directors on its behalf. No board, committee or individual member is authorized to speak on behalf of, or to represent the DNA without specific approval of the DNA Board of Directors.

The DNA Board of Directors grants its Land Use Committee executive status under these guidelines:

1. Each committee member shall be a DNA member and shall have signed a Conflict of Interest form.
2. Representations shall be confined to land use and transportation issues affecting the DNA.
3. Proposed representations must be approved by a majority of Land Use Committee members.
4. Representations shall be brought to the DNA Board of Directors for approval, prior to their release except in cases of important issues that require representation prior to the next Board meeting.
5. In cases where there is not time for full board approval, the matter must have the approval of the DNA President prior to any release.
