Background Information:
CAPCOG's General Assembly is composed of the official representatives of all member organizations, including cities and counties as well as school districts, chambers of commerce, nonprofits and any other organization that has an interest in COG programs and regionalism in general. The population of the cities and counties determine how many General Assembly representatives and at-large seats they may fill.
The General Assembly meets at least twice per year and is responsible for approving the CAPCOG annual budget and amendments to the CAPCOG bylaws as well as approving to approve/appoint members to CAPCOG's Executive Committee.
The General Assembly also elects a Nominating Committee in late summer that is charged with soliciting and recommending membership on the Executive Committee at the December Annual Meeting of the General Assembly.
The City of San Marcos qualifies for 3 positions on the CAPCOG General Assembly based on State Data Center's most recent population estimates.
Current General Assembly representatives:

* Mayor Pro Tem Lisa Prewitt
* Jamie Lee Case, City Clerk
