Steering Committees

Steering committees worked in two phases to guide the development of this strategic plan. The committee initially consisted of a cross-section of Board Members, their advisors, and several executives. These committee members (1) developed the methodology for how the content of the plan would be developed; (2) provided guidance in the internal and external stakeholder forum design; (3) integrated Cal/EPA’s 2000 Strategic Vision and the results of previous efforts, such as the 21st Century Policy Project; and (4) assessed current legislative and budget proposals.

The phase one steering committee membership consisted of:

• Sponsors
• Committee Leader
• Board Member Office Representation
• Executive Representation

In the second phase, the steering committee’s membership shifted to include all of the Board’s executive staff and focused on overseeing the development of the plan’s content for the Board’s discussion and direction. This group developed a draft set of goals for the Board’s consideration and led cross-organization teams in drafting objectives and strategies for each goal.

Internal and External Stakeholder Forum Participants

Two stakeholder forums were conducted as part of an internal and external assessment of the issues for Board Members. During the first forum, which was held on February 15, 2001, a representative group of the Board’s external stakeholders provided broad policy input on key waste management issues of the future. The internal stakeholder forum for the Board Members was held on March 12, 2001, to allow Board staff the opportunity to provide input on key issues and strategies.

The forums enabled the Board to dialogue with a broad constituency base—both internal and external—and begin the process of exploring and formulating the future direction of the Board. The following individuals and representatives from the following organizations participated in stakeholder forums.
