Economic Growth Advisory Council
Governor-Elect Bobby Jindal Transition Advisory Councils
There are seven transition advisory councils, including economic growth, education, health and social services, hurricane recovery and emergency preparedness, government and fiscal reform, and crime and public safety - which are all reflective of the seven policy chapters Jindal unveiled during his campaign. There are also two special committees which will examine issues pertaining to Veterans Affairs and Wildlife and Fisheries. Transition advisory council members will travel the state to collect testimony and make policy recommendations to Jindal pertaining to the policies he announced during his campaign.
