The committee consists of 21 members, including current and former heads of local institutions and organizations, academic experts and professors, and public officials with extensive experience and insight in fields such as economy and science, culture and arts, agriculture, and education.

The second meeting was attended by Mayor Yoon Byung-tae, Chairman Park Jae-young, and 19 other committee members.

As official agenda items, the advisory committee held in-depth discussions on the "2023 MBN Naju Marathon," the integrated festival strategy for the "2023 Naju Festival, Yeongsan River is Alive," policies on "youth population inflow," "revitalization of returning farming and rural migration," and the "vision for the era of 5 million tourists."

Mayor Yoon Byung-tae said in his greeting, "I hope the advisory committee will gather wise insights to minimize trial and error in implementing the policies of the first term of the 8th elected administration and ensure they properly settle into citizens' daily lives."

He added, "I hope this will be a valuable opportunity to jointly consider regional development and future vision and to prepare creative alternatives."

The advisory committee members suggested policies such as youth population inflow through matchmaking events called Seonnam Seonnyeo, reviewing the operation of a permanent outdoor wedding hall at Geumseongsan Mountain, creating returning farming and rural migration villages linked with rural villages, and holding a marathon festival connected with 16 relocated public institutions in the Innovation City.

The city plans to actively reflect the discussed and suggested matters in municipal administration through thorough review.

Additionally, the city intends to strengthen the substantive operation of the advisory committee by institutionalizing committee consultations through quarterly regular meetings and special meetings when important agenda items are proposed, so that developmental alternatives for major municipal issues and topics can be derived.
