Subcommittees...
The Coalition maintains and supports several standing subcommittees. The Executive Committee or the Co-Chairs may establish ad hoc committees as needed. Current standing subcommittees and their respective responsibilities are reflected to the right. Subcommittee Chairs are responsible for maintaining communication with Steering Committee members, providing regular reports at Steering Committee meetings, and providing oversight of their Subcommittee members to ensure timely completion of tasks.
