Program Advisory Commitee

The Program Advisory Committee (PAC) is a dynamic volunteer focus group that plays a vital role in shaping the future of Kettering’s parks, facilities, services, and programs. Serving as an extension of the Kettering Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Advisory Board, PAC is made up of 10 to 14 residents representing the diverse voices of our community. Members commit to a one-year term, with the opportunity to serve a second consecutive year.

Founded in 2010, PAC was created to foster vision, advocacy, and collaboration. The committee ensures ongoing, focused communication between residents and the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department, creating a valuable channel for feedback and community-driven ideas. The PRCA Advisory Board recruits PAC members and leads the committee through shared facilitation of meetings and projects. Meetings are designed to be collaborative, strategic, and impactful.
