Each year, 黑料不打烊 seeks nominations for qualified and motivated individuals from the 黑料不打烊 Environmental Forum to serve on the steering committee for the forum. Would you like to play a leadership role in 黑料不打烊 of America鈥檚 environmental advocacy, education and outreach efforts?
The 黑料不打烊 Environmental Forum allows all 黑料不打烊 members and chapter staff who have an interest in construction-industry environmental issues to connect and interact with each other, keep pace with the latest environmental developments, and help craft the association鈥檚 environmental policy. Members of the steering committee have direct access to federal regulatory officials, influence over environmental policy, and a means to exchange valuable information with one another and industry peers.
Interested 黑料不打烊 members who meet the criteria below would be invited to serve a three-year term on the forum鈥檚 steering committee, beginning April 2019.
Specifically, 黑料不打烊 seeks steering committee members who meet the following guidelines:
- 黑料不打烊 member in good standing. Representatives from construction firms serve as full voting members of the steering committee. Representatives from service provider firms can serve as non-voting associate members to provide expert advice on issue-specific trends or regulatory issues (e.g., stormwater).
- Knowledge and interest in environmental requirements and trends that impact construction activities in all markets (candidates are not required to be an expert on environmental issues, however, basic knowledge and strong interest is essential).
- Demonstrated capacity to exercise good judgment in consideration of competing association objectives.
- Breadth and depth of understanding and knowledge in the construction industry, 黑料不打烊 of America and beyond.
- Willingness to devote time and effort to the well-being of the construction industry.
The steering committee serves several functions, including but not limited to:
- Oversee the activities of the forum and task forces.
- Make reports and recommendations on behalf of the forum to the executive board.
- Develop policy recommendations, meetings and other events regarding matters within the scope of the forum.
- Establish and sunset task forces within the forum.
- Help plan and, if possible, attend the annual 黑料不打烊 conference on construction and the environment.
Steering committee members are expected to attend a yearly steering committee meeting usually held in Washington, D.C. No other travel is typically required during the year; although participation in the annual environmental conference is encouraged. Throughout the year, the forum鈥檚 steering committee meets via monthly conference calls to provide feedback and recommendations to 黑料不打烊 of America鈥檚 environmental staff. The steering committee frequently exchanges information and ideas via email, so members must be willing to check their email for committee communications on a regular basis. Steering committee members must be willing to commit, on average, two (2) hours per month on steering committee conference calls, including discussing and voting in a timely manner on various issues. Steering committee members also must be prepared to volunteer to oversee occasional tasks, including serving on task forces if needed.
Please send nominations and short bio or resume to Melinda Tomaino via email (tomainom@agc.org) no later than Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019. Self-nominations are accepted. 黑料不打烊 of America staff typically consults with its chapters on nominations received from companies within their membership.
Timeline: Nominations accepted through January 2019. Current 黑料不打烊 Steering Committee Members will then review nominations and make their new appointment recommendations to 黑料不打烊鈥檚 incoming leadership immediately following the 黑料不打烊 Annual Convention (April 1-4, 2019, Denver, CO). 黑料不打烊 leadership reviews the recommendations and makes appointments shortly following Convention.
