The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Board of Directors swore in City of Roseville Vice Mayor Susan Rohan as the 2016 SACOG Board Chair and Sacramento County Supervisor Phil Serna as Board Vice Chair.

“I am looking forward to leading the exceptional group of regional leaders that comprise the SACOG Board. We have much work to do, including adopting the region’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy. I have had the opportunity to be an active member of the SACOG board serving on the Land Use and Natural Resources Committee, and chairing the Innovations Task Force. The SACOG Board and staff have built a national reputation for leadership, collaboration, creativity-and will continue to live up to that reputation in 2016,” said Rohan.
