Supervisor Gauthier's Committees for 2025

Much of the work of a county supervisor takes place on the various boards and commissions that we serve on. These committees further the work of the county and play important roles in moving our collective agenda forward. Some of these committees are focused locally on San Mateo County and some are focused regionally. All play an important role in policy and program delivery. I'm proud to represent the Board of Supervisors on the following Boards and Commissions:
