Who is on the Planning Team?
The Forum is being convened and facilitated by the Meridian Institute, a non profit organization whose mission is to increase society's ability to solve problems and resolve conflicts arising from the integration of environmental, health, economic, and social issues. Meridian is working in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency, other cooperating federal agencies, and a Forum Steering Committee to design the Forum. The Steering Committee is comprised of non-federal representatives of the Regional Watershed Roundtables, several of the cooperating federal agencies, and other watershed interests. The Steering Committee will be responsible for designing a Forum that integrates and responds to the needs of its attendees, and that creates a framework for ongoing work and collaboration.
Additionally, a Forum Advisory Group is being developed to provide opportunities for involvement in the Forum planning process from an array of stakeholders and governmental interests not represented on the Steering Committee. The Advisory Group will review the work of the Steering Committee and provide input to the Meridian planning team throughout the process.
