Advisory Committee
During the first year of NERACOOS development, a regional advisory committee was formed and a work plan was developed for the project. The advisory committee, with broad geographic and stakeholder representation, was established to guide the RA development process. The Advisory Committee's formal role concluded in November, 2007 once draft by-laws and a process for establishing a board of directors were in place.
