The Steering Council exists to coordinate the flow of information as proposals are developed in committee and then approved by the Board of Directors. The Steering Council consists of the chairs of the five committees and four officers. All Steering Council members are elected; officers to a two-year term and committee chairs to a one-year term. See the committee pages for more information on the coalition's work or contact the Steering Committee members with your questions.
