Signatories




To build community inclusiveness, the Council is reaching out to Borrego organizations and sub-groups, many of whom have not had a ‘seat at the table’ in the past. Within months of approving the broadened BVSC scope, dozens of
businesses, HOAs, organizations, institutions, and government agencies have become signatories to the MOU and supporters of the BVSC. The goal is to have as many Borrego stakeholders as possible represented by member organizations.
