The Göteborg Region Association of Local Authorities (GR) is a co-operative organisation uniting thirteen municipalities in western Sweden. Combined, the population of these municipalities is 927.000. The task of the association is to promote co-operation over municipal borders and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and experience within the region. GR focuses on such issues as: regional planning, environment, traffic, job market, welfare and social services, competence development, education, and research. GR works closely with Business Region Göteborg, which is the common resource for trade and commerce issues in the Göteborg region.

The GR delegation has 97 members and its board of directors has 22 representatives and 11 deputies. The chairman and three vice chairmen make up the presidium of the board of directors. The board appoints management groups for different areas of activity within GR. GR is financed partly through annual membership fees from the member municipalities and partly through income from conference and training arrangements, investigations, and other joint-usership savings for the member municipalities.

Working area: Local, regional, national and /or European level.
