  The Alliance is a regional non-profit conservation organization dedicated to bringing together individuals, organizations, businesses, and governments to find collaborative solutions, to build a strong commitment to stewardship, and to deliver innovative, broadly-supported programs that benefit the land, waters, and residents of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Collaboration, consensus-building, and partnerships are at the core of the Alliance mission and our focus is on the local streams and rivers that ultimately determine the health of the Bay.I assist in organizing quarterly meetings for the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC) to the Executive Council of the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP). My responsibilities include logistics, communication to the committee members, and EPA procurement documentation. The CAC members communicate with their constituencies to increase understanding of the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Agreement, CBP programs that aim to restore and protect the Bay. The CAC membership is broad-based with representatives from agriculture, business, conservation, industry, and civic groups. Since 1984, this group has provided a non-governmental perspective on the Bay cleanup effort and on how Bay Program policies affect citizens who live and work in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. http://www.chesapeakebay.net/groups/group/citizens_advisory_committeeThe LGAC was created in 1987 through the Chesapeake Bay Agreement. The purpose of the LGAC is to advise the Executive Council on how to effectively implement projects and engage the support of local governments to achieve the goals of the Bay Agreement. LGAC members share the views and insights of local elected officials with state and federal decision-makers and to enhance the flow of information among local governments about the health and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.http://www.chesapeakebay.net/groups/group/local_government_advisory_committee
