What is AACOG?

Established in 1967, the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) is a voluntary association of local governments and organizations that serves its members through planning, information and coordination activities.

The 12 counties that comprise the Alamo Area planning region are Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Frio, Gillespie, Guadalupe, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, Medina and Wilson.

The agency is also designated as the regional clearinghouse that reviews and comments upon grant applications submitted for state and federal funding by organizations throughout the 12-county region.

Further, AACOG provides direct technical assistance to member governments in their planning functions, preparation of applications and the administration of area-wide programs. Support for these activities is provided through local dues, state appropriations, state and federal grants that are matched by local monies and other public and private funds.

Citizen participation is encouraged at all AACOG meetings, which include the meeting of the Area Council, the Board of Directors, and program advisory and community committees. The Area Council, made up of representatives of the member governments, meets twice yearly to set general policy, review and approve the annual budget and to elect officers.

The Board of Directors, the governing body of AACOG, meets once a month, usually on the fourth Wednesday; however, meetings are convened as needed. Program advisory and community committees meet on a monthly or bimonthly basis. All meetings are open to the public and accessible to people with disabilities.

For further information, contact the Alamo Area Council of Governments, 8700 Tesoro Drive, Suite 700, San Antonio, Texas, 78217, (210) 362-5200.

All residents of the Alamo Area region are strongly encouraged to become informed about and involved in the important activities and planning processes occurring daily through the programs and staff support of the Alamo Area Council of Governments.
