The Administrative Division is responsible for coordinating information received from various technical committees. This information is forwarded to the MAG Management Committee, Transportation Policy Committee, MAG Executive Committee, and the MAG Regional Council. To assist in the coordination and understanding of this information, meetings with Intergovernmental Representatives are held. To take a longer policy view, annual goals are reviewed by the members of the MAG Regional Council Executive Committee and approved in the MAG Unified Planning Work Program. External relationships with other organizations, such as the National Association of Regional Councils, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, East Valley Partnership, WESTMARC, the Business Coalition, and other local business groups, are also part of our administrative functions. The funding for MAG is administered by the MAG Fiscal Services Division.
