Board, Chattanooga Community Housing Development Organization, and was a past Chairman of the Human Rights Commission. Councilman Rico enjoys working with young people and also serves on the Metro YMCA board as well as Y-CAP. While he has never had any problem working hard with any group that in need of help, he particularly enjoys his spot on the board of the "Friends of the Festival" and the Riverbend celebration each year.
