The Delmarva Advisory Council was formed in
1964 as a voluntary association by the governors of
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia within the re-
gion known as the Delmarva Peninsula. In 1984,
Maryland joined her neighbor states in establishing
the Council by statute (Chapter 671,Acts of 1984).
To advance the economic and cultural welfare of
the people of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Council
advises, counsels, and assists government agencies and
private organizations concerned with developing the
resources and economy of the region. The Council
helps governments work together and resolve inter-
jurisdictional disputes in a public forum.
The Council is composed of five gubernatorial
appointees from each state, as well as county offi-
cials, designated municipal officials, and citizens.
Maryland financial support for the Council comes
from participating Maryland counties and from the
State through the budget for the Department of
Business and Economic Development (Code 1957,
Art. 32B, sees. 1-101 through 1-111).
